Watching the little wing in the cockpit area grow in size makes me chuckle a bit. At what point will they just start flying biplanes?
I don't know how the anhedral worked on the UFO or if it was more for appearance.. At one point the theory was that the prop wash was spiraling along the fuse and large fuse sides for knife-edge flight there would be part of the stab in the airflow at all times. I didn't buy into that but then again I am a sport flier so what do I know except that at the speeds I fly at the spiral is about 6yards behind and unable to have any effect.
