first scale warbird
Hello everyone... Working on my Spitfire & I kinda would like to build the clipped wing version, but before I do, I'd like to make sure the low speed characteristics - will they be better? Also, I think I may try those VG' jobbies I read about in the model aviation magazine, February 17...VG (vortex generators) claim only a 1% reduction of top speed, now if these really work, that trade off is excellent, there's 2 different style, really noticable & not so much, the bummer is.. scale warbirds will look funky with those on there....& If I increased the thickness of the control surfaces (wing/stab/elevator) just a bit, don't want to make it look ghetto. Thanks for any input, here are a couple pics so car... Excuse the mess please -& the wing assemblies
The vg's are to increase stability & control at low speeds and enhance control authority,by directing/energizing the airflow over the control surfaces.
