Default Eppler 214

I liked it on my glider too. It was like the lovesong, but a different fuse. It slowed down better than the lovesong, but flew the same at the higher speeds. We used them tripped and not tripped. Good airfoil. I switched to the SD7032 after that and liked it a little better. I still use the 7032 on that fuse. I have a couple different plan forms, but the next set will be the same planform as the lovesong. I have used a tripple taper and a double taper, but I like the straight leading edge the best on that bird. The 214 was great on the slope. The Camano was the lovesong fuse with a 100 inch E214 wing. It was a good plane. For some reason, my Kamiak fuse made it slow down a bit more.
