Does anyone have a preference? ..some planes use distinctly different airfoils, leading edge cuffs, slots etc, to"wash out". Some different-airfoil wings transform gradually towards the tip, and not neccesarily in a linear fashion, some of these can get really weird. Start with a linear thing and drop in all sorts of weird handles to keep us future eaa types happy. ;-) -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
