@TheChosenOne862 get ourself soemthing like a Radian or EasyGlider and get to it......it's tricky at first but worth it when you finally 'crack it'

Hi!

Your wing is one beautiful flyer :)

Can I ask you what is your rtf weight and what airfoil are you using.

Thanks!

[miniphase]

thanks pac3k

the wing was designed by Vern Hunt, if you google his name+swift you'll find the details on Andy Mc Donalds web site.

Actually the web address is at 1:06 on my video. Vern designed the section as well in anticipation of making a full sized version.

The model uses 8 degrees of twist and mine weighs about 6lbs rtf
