Im worried about forwards flight with thin wings.
Mine are going to be 21cm from LE-TE. What effect will this have on stall speed and handling?

RE: Rotating engine nacelles...

RE: Rotating engine nacelles...

tiggerinva, It sounds like you're going down the same sort of track as me.

RE: calling all VTOL'ers!!!

RE: calling all VTOL'ers!!!
