Default RE: Has anyone tried doing this?

Thanks for all your comments. So the consensus is that I definitely shouldn't "sharpen" the l.e. of my Mojo's tail surfaces. OK, I thought you'd say this, so we're all in agreement

I posted this question because I got to thinking about how great Shock-Fliers fly with their "sharp" leading edges . . . . but "thinking-on" I quickly realised that the whole of the Shock-Fliers flying surfaces are just as thin as their leading edges, so there's no actual "sharpness" at all (as JohnnyMojo said: I should stop thinking and go flying!)

But, just one last thought before I call it a day and get my Mojo completed: What is the best treatment od the leading edges of the v- and h-stab in a profile model? Should they be rounded-off - or is it best to leave them "squared-off?" Looking back at some of my previous models I have to admit that I can't say I've noticed any difference in performance no matter which way I finished-off the l.e.'s . . . . but have you?

Tony
