going for speed
This is my first post on these boards. I have a fair amount of flying experience, just not fast stuff. (sport 40 size, electrics, gliders, etc.) I am in the process of designing and building a quite fast airplane. I dont want a delta, for two reasons. The first is looks, the second is I believe I can build a cleaner airframe in the style of something like a quickie 500 racer, but with thinner wing, no landing gear, etc. It will be almost 100% fiberglass, possibly bungee launched? Any thoughts, experience would be greatly appreciated. How thin can I go for that airfoil? Can you run any nitro in the nelsons, jetts? Symetrical airfoil? Thanks Hans
