Reynald's number
Dick,
Use of everyday language does not grate on me, and I agree very much that an inability to explain an idea in plain language often means that the explainer does not really understand. Unfortunately, some ideas are difficult to put into everyday language, without taking a very long time, and a lot of words. While jargon may be a problem, it is also a problem to put an idea into non-technical terms, and lose the essential meaning.
FXD,
A wing or airfoil does not have a Reynold's number. To calculate the Reynold's number, you need to know the properties of the air, which don't change much, the size of the wing, and the airspeed. The size we need is the chord of the wing ( distance from leading edge to trailing edge ). If you tell us what that is, we can assume the speed, and approximate the Reynold's number. More than likely, it will end up being a low Reynold's number, in the sense that the wing won't behave quite the same as full-size wings.
