Default RE: Hangar 9 Funtana 40

We are talking the same model. By using the term under construction I was indicating that my model is in the assembly process and has not flown!! Sheesh.

Use of a contour gague on the leading edge clearly shows a transition in the airfoil from the end bay to the rest of the wing. The leading edge is relatively blunt on the inner section. It is hard to visualize what you are talking about and how the transitions are managed.

At a local fun fly I witnessed a spectacular display of 3d flying by a young man with a Saito 100
powered S40. A nother flyer said his Tower 75 powered S40 flew much "heavier". I do not have the respective weights of the aircraft but in the hands ("thumbs")of this young man the S40 performed every trick in the book as neatly as some 40% models there.
