A couple or few degrees should help in penetration. The very least would be
to flatten the concave back of the bottom of the wing. That is a relatively
high camber section and will gain in penetration by removing the camber.
BTW, the best thermalling for that airfoil is (depending upon wing loadi

I just got some tungsten powder and it's impressively dense. I haven't put it
to use yet, so I can't speak from experience about its properties.

I am looking for a ballast solution for my Trinity Carbon/Acacia 3 slope
racers. I want to get them up to the max fai wing loading for unlimited
class slope racing. Lead isnt heavy enough and solid tungsten stock is
really expensive. Has anyone ever tried making ballast out of tungsten
powder?

reflexing the ailerons and flaps would be useful on the 7037.

I have had two Chrysalis 2M sailplanes. I think they are
great. The wing chord is plenty wide so the visibility is good at a high
altitude. The long tail moment makes it behave well. Follow all the
directions, such as the washout of the wing tips. I set up the Vee tail
servo horns to gi
I built one a few years ago and was very satisfied.
Things I liked: It's a nice plane - builds easily, all the parts fit and the
wood selection is good. It has more wing area than the average 2 meter, so
it's easier to see, and floats well. The thin section allows for good
penetration as well
Hitec transmitters have the crystal exposed on the front of the case.
