Hi Oliver

Now that you have flown your model do you have any further thoughts on the amount of washout on the wings as I still feel that 9.5 deg is more than required and must contribute to an inferior glide as not all of the wing is working.

Your comments would be appreciated but either way it is a beautiful model.

Hi Vince,

I do not understand your question?
Do you mean the Profile?

Hi John,

a man from RC-Network Uwe Heuer.
He has calculated the wing with the program

The Storch flies so wonderfully :) :)

Olli - Just the shape of the sweepback which is similar to what was designed for the Falke

Ah now I understand.
Mine you the RRG Falke
Yes I think so.

But rather the wing of the Storch V
The ailerons were rounded ;)

Thanks Olli

I see you have gone for the true Bell shape lift distribution and this is why you have so much washout. Thank you for taking the time to respond.
