hig or low wing
Hi Guys,
You know it is really funny reading all of the High vs Low wing stuff. Basically any clean, straight design you can fly comfortably will go fast. If it fits like and old shoe, and has the horsepower, it can win in the right hands.
A few really good friends of mine are in the aerospace industry and are fellow modelers. Two are quite respected airframe drone engineers. They have said time and time again, take care of the little draggy things on the plane, linkages, antenna etc and make sure the plane is a rigid as possible.
I bet you will find planes like the Vortex and the ones like the Bakers have come up with are just that, straight and rigid. I bet the fuselage thread on here could shed a lot of light on what goes fast.
