Default Question for the Norvelites (Future Project)

Wild Fred,

I am currently working on a twin powered Hornet(push/pull set up) with twin profile booms. our local police will radar for us at the local park and i wanna see how fast i can go. I plan on it being pretty much the same plane as a reguler 049 size hornet with the motors cowled in and no control horns showing(torq rod set up for ailerons and a pully system that will run down the center of the built up sections of the twin booms for the elevator. Even gonna use 1 feul tank, gotta save that weight.


I tried a canard hornet, so I could have a pointed front end and no prop wash off the fuse to see if I could get alot faster, but I didnt like the way it flew. Might have been the flat bottom air foil. While I am thinking about it, do you think I would go faster if I made a symetrical foil, or just leave it as is?
