Default RE: Flying in reverse (apparently

Flying the wing backwards is not really practical because the thick part of the airfoil is toward the back of the chord. This will cause detatchment of airflow and ailerons will not really work. It will also shed vortecies off the top surface and be REALLY CRUDDY to unflyable at low speeds.

You gotta turn the airfoil around.
