Hal Debolt introduced strip ailerons?

Supposedly, in 1960 or 1961, he is credited with introducing strip ailerons, but I can't find any of his designs around that time that have them. In 1963, with the Taurus, Ed Kazmirski even gives...

RE: Looking for Airfoil advice

The scale airfoil is a 63A, there is a difference. In this case, you will get more lift out of the scale airfoils, but the Selig 8036 does have a slightly mushier stall, note the flatness at high...

Hostetler may provide you with a booklet, describing how he finished his model, along with some other tips. However, he assumes you know how to build.

RE: top flight 60 size p51 question

At 1/7 scale, a 19" prop would be the right size, so I don't think you have to worry, unless grass is really long?
