Default Sharp LE (is it a myth?)

Hey Tattoo!

Your wings SUCK man! They suck the streamers right off of the other guys combat aircraft!!! Wooohoooo!

Yes, inverted flight is really quite good with these wings on my HOR. And it does not "hunt", it is very stable in flight from (moderately) high speed to very slow dead stick landings like us combat guys always have to do.

They also do not snap out as easy as some other wings I have flown... even on high rates and tying knots in the sky the plane with eventually just "mush" but never snap out of a turn. I love being able to out-turn just about every other aircraft in a combat meet... hehehe.

Now, I do have a confession to make. Micster and I have cut some (secret) S____g airfoils out of foam and I flew one on my HOR, and he built a HOR with one as well. They have a much higher top-end speed but they do snap out if you let them get too slow and pull a little too hard... much more CG sensitive than the coro-wings also. We are gonna fly them in Open-B this weekend to see how they do. My open-A and SSC planes are still running coro and will continue to do so. I know, I am kinda taking the "S" outta SPAD, but...
