Default RE: mitsubushi zero

BTW, the Zero had a cambered airfoil wing that was similar anyway. Truth is, scale models don't really need much more than they get from something like a Clark-Y for their wings. Models have wing loadings that're so far into the light category it isn't even funny. So you're not going to be looking for any extra max CL above what you'll be getting.

As for the tail, the original was like all it's contemporaries. Very, very few had cambered horizontal tails. They didn't need 'em nor wanted them. No value to them for those fighters, and no value for us for our models.
