The diamond airfoil is generally quite poor flying wise. Done for ease of building, the center of pressure jumps all over between the leading edge and the high point of the airfoil in turns. Old combat jobs like the Dumas Diamond were especially bad fliers.
Agreed. Since it's a cute little plane, wonder how well it would fly with a smooth-flow airfoil?
