Default RE: Do wrinkles in wing covering affect flight performance?
here are specs of my aircraft.

Aircraft Specifications

Wingspan- 148 cm

Length- 93 cm with nose cowl

Length- 84 cm w/o nose cowl

Maximum height- 24 cm

Wing Area- 2590 cm^2

Dry Weight- 1143 g w/o battery, receiver, fuel, and engine.

Wing Reynolds Number- 423.293 K

Wing Loading- 81.082 g/dm^2

Will it fly? My wing loading is quite low for an aircraft my size, no? And I have a lot of wingspan to make up for wrinkles, plus a very light airplane. Will it fly?
