Hi folks,
Does anybody know offhand to what degree large scale high aspect ratio scale ships (ie ASW-22, ASH 25 etc) typically use washout to control stall behaviour?
I don't have any direct experience with such models, but I can't think that washout would be all that (visually) noticeable on the huge wings, and would definitely seem to be almost mandatory given the huge differential in flying speeds between the two tips in a turn.
Just another interesting lunchtime question from yesterday....
My guess is none used. Washout is bad for high speed condition, too much torsional stress for one. You might be able to dial in some washout with the aileron when needed but not sure if you can since the ASW22 has all mechanical linkage in the wing.
