Question on changing the airfoil on a Micro plane. (Undercambered to flat bottom)
Well it's pretty simple. I am building the Micro Pitts. It starts off with a RET controls and an undercambered wing. I'm looking to make it ARET and sheet the wing flat bottom. I'm thinking this would be good for when I roll or try to fly inverted (if only for short stint).
A) do I need to sheet it? I seem to get the impression from the modelers by me that If I don't she'll fall out of the sky when i go to roll.
B) I'm concerned about the flying speed of the A/C. for a given wing loading X (X being between 4oz/in^2 and 5.5oz/in^2); if I go from undercambered to flat bottom will the stall speed increase. If yes, how dramatic are we talking?
This is a 12" ws Bipe for indoor flight. I'm watching some fly a Tensor 4d around in our gym and i don't see why i can't make this one work. the tensor is a flat foam wing i believe. Which leads me to wonder what to do.
Thanks in advance.
