Oh...that was you...

Generally the thicker the LE is, the more gentle the stall characteristics are. If you saw my Sledge wing, it's FAT. The LE is close to flat and it will do rock solid harriers and elevators on a calm day. For some reason SPADS don't seem to follow this rule, but that's because their aspect ratio is so huge.

It took me about a month to build the Sledge just working on weekends and not working very much... It could be framed up in a weekend and covered the next weekend. I am going to build up another one very soon...I'll go with the short kit.

The Su Do Khoi and Top Cap are also good choices, but when it comes to the high alpha stuff they sort of get left behind. The Sledge will do it all...

The Magic will hover, but that's about it. No KE and no harriers...The Capiche 50 is going to be a fast airplane and won't do the high alpha stuff as well as the Sledge.

When you do decide on an airplane, I would highly recommend trying some APC props like the 11.5x4...BIG difference compared to those wood ones.
