Gordy, you're so full of it,
sometimes, you make me LOL. From the lauch meister himself... DP.
"Launch Camber. We need to create a
situation where the wing will pull as high a Cl as is possible. We do this
with camber. I don’t worry about drag for launch. Why? We have to overcome the
amount of line drag, which is huge. On an F3B launch, we can generate up to
50-60 lb. of line drag in the wind, so I don’t personally worry about drag
induced from excess camber. I use camber to produce as much lift as possible,
and then I do something different from most: I use the camber to stabilize
the plane. "
And no, this article is not in
RCSD. It's on the NSP web site.

Ot has nothing to do with stability...if our goal is altitude.
Do you 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.
Let's hear your ideas. Its a good day to learn somethings. :-)
P.S. NO TELLING if we have already talked about it..or you read the
article.

Yes it was in RCSD
