Default RE: Air Hogs Aero Ace!

neurotex, that tailess mono/bipe sounds pretty interesting. there's an old plane called the Skoda that had a similar design, no conventional horizontal stab, just a rudder. the horizontal stabs were mounted on twin booms, coming off the TE of the wing. it looks truely bizzar, but it does fly (i built a similar model to it with a ToonRacer body for the AA).

tony, the channel wing is supposed to have some amount of anti-stall in it, but the one thats supposed to really cut down on stalling is the Kline-Fogelman airfoil. i posted some pics on it one page back, post #3549. since a forward swept wing doesnt allow for much stalling, and since a canard type flyer is supposed to cut down on stalling, it would be interesting to combine the 3. i wonder, is it possible to have a forward swept flying wing?
