Default RE: SST 1/2A engine


ORIGINAL: combatpigg

I originally tried it with a TD .049 and it was a dog. Barely air worthy.
For whatever reason, a lot of the 1/2A designs from that era were built like tanks. I think another mod that might help is thinning the airfoil a little. The original was about 15%. Going with a 12 to 13% foil might reduce the drag coefficient a bit.
