Re: [RCSE] Launching

Ot has nothing to do with stability...if our goal is altitude. Doyou know what camber does of value? Do you know what the end result of too much flap is toward the goal of the launch? I do... and its super dumb simple..sort of like why one leg of a Goose V flight is longer than the other side.

Rich, We very highly recommend Barnaby Wainfan's BW 05 02 09. Smoothed coordinates (200 points) are on our web site. According to XFoil, this section has a zero lift angle of -0.33 degrees and a pitching moment of 0.014. The pitching moment is sufficient for stability and achieves low drag.
