Hi Alex,
As usual, fantastic engineering and craftsmanship. I'm curious about your design philosophy. F3A seems to have 3 design trends: 1) more wings; biplanes and triplanes; 2) aerodynamic aids like the T-canalizer, SFGs (side force generators), and fuselage strakes; 3) bigger fuselages which increases the side area and fuselage volume. There are, of course, combinations, as well, like Naruke's Advatage monoplane which has a moderately large fuselage and a small T-can with wing SFGs. How did you arrive at your Vortex design? I like the simplicity of one wing and no aerodynamic gadgets.
Thanks,
Will
