RE: Wing/airfoil design software
I had a problem with Profili. Big download and kept getting a violation when trying to run. I also got a security warning saying it was a "seldom downloaded" - i.e. little know program.
I did get a demo copy of Compufoil. It's much more than I can truly understand but I guess there's a lot of variables when you designing software for many different apps.
I've got Compufoil for 15 days. I should be able to figure it out by then. I'm definetly learning some stuff.
The reason I'm doing this is that I built a fragile scale plane and converted it from wind-up to electric / rc. Problem is, it kept wingtip-stalling and I got tired of repairing it. It had a gull-wing with a decreasing camber on the ends.
I'm trying to build something very tough and very easy to repair. No gear. No frills. Just a real tough plane. Then I can experiment on the affects of wing design with small rc planes.
