Default RE: A GLH for 2012

I know back when ACE was still in full swing, (god I miss them) every hobby shop I went in to had a GLH and a Whizard in stock at all times, a lot of them stocked both the foam and built up versions too. I think the GLH and Sig Hummer were realy popular with those of us who entered RC by way of CL Combat and were adjusting to speed withdrawals. "What do you mean you put an .049 on a 36" wing, that needs a Fox 36! An .049 is for an 18" wing, and flys even better if you accidently break off the outboard wing." Of course I can tell if the plane is inverted, it will be going to my right, clockwise!

Here is a picture of the airfoil, you can see why I needed to have such a long TE/Aileron surface, otherwise the tail end of the rib would have been a pencil tip. It is about 1/8" now, that's why I added the 1/2" of sheeting where it meets the TE.

What do you think of the LE? I don't want to go too sharp and get it way too twitchy to pitch changes. Remember this is built at 90% too.
