I read somewhere that the square footage of a wing is what you would get if
if you stripped the upper surface off and laid it out flat. So it is always
a little more than the chord x span.

Eric:
I can be wrong on this but I think that is whaht is ment by the MACwhich is the
lingthof the line 1l2 way between the upper and lower surface which would be
slightly longer. I would not worry about the theoretical benifits of that
though because as a practical mater there are probably enoug
Eric - The airfoil and hence the curvature neither the
thickness of it has any bearing on the wing area for
aerodynamic calculations. In other words, simply
calculate the area of the polygon traced by the wing
to get the wing area.
Don - MAC is a weighted average of all cord lengths on
a semi-span

Thanks for setting me straight on the terminology. What I used for wing
area is exactly what you sdescribe as I used 36 inches x 94 inches for
the outbboard wings on mine to run through the theoretical stall speed
calcs to arrive at max allowable gross for the 51 mph stallof 887# for m
I need to figure the stall speed for my plane and was wondering what formula
you used to figure the stall speed with?
Thanks

Can you limit the max speed by prop pitch and still retain phenoninal
climb characteristics with lots of hp?

I do not know the answer to that but I am aware that ther is a trade-off and I
want cruise & Stall in Sport plane limits and this is doable according to my
EAA counsular. Be advised I used 42" for my chord not 36"--- OOPS
