Default RE: basic aerodynamics

Yes you seem to be misguided, Dick starts talking about planes that weights zero - yes ZERO telling us that -of course - CG doesn't matter then…
And if the plane is too heavy it will not fly at all and - of course- CG doesn't matter then either and the problem is resolved… very much impressive.[8D]

Then he says that he likes flying flat plates of styrofoam because they stall and do exciting flick rolls whereas thicker airfoils refuse to stall and are boring for him - so what? Who has denied that?
I think we are just talking on different things, different flying styles and needs.
