Don Harris had a 3 1/2 hour flight at the first Wood Crafters event in 2002.
WC has always had the Longest flight event and what makes it work is the
entries are limited to one entry per ch. This allows pilots to fly at will.
Other Woody contests in the east have had the same task. I think it is

Hi folks,
Just curious if anyone knows how washout should be properly added to a
wing. I don't mean how much should be added (that I understand fine),
but rather how the wing should be twisted.
Do you rotate the tip section about the 1/4 chord point? Do you rotate
the tip section about the LE?
The 1/4 chord point would be the best choice. But it's not that big of a
concern usually.
If you're cutting a foam core, then yes. Rotate the tip template around the
1/4 chord point.

Thought so, and that's what I'd usually do. This time I'm doodling a
little flying wing that has twist from 1/2 span out, however, and having
a straight LE would be helpful as a reference.
Any guesses as to what doing this rather than twisting at 1/4 chord
would do?
Cheers,
Adam

Twisting around the LE will add a bit of a pitching moment. Usually.
However, a flying wing USUALLY will have a near-zero pitching moment airfoil
so it's a non-issue.
Besides, if it's a foamie, just twisting it with you hand and applying a
heat gun, will usually twist around approximately the
Not an EPP foamie (bagged composite), so I have to make the decision
before I cut the cores, but I'm sure it'll work out fine. I'll throw in
an extra 1/4 degree of twist (it requires 4 already).
Thanks again,
Adam

I had a GL but never really learned to fly on it. I found out that you
really need more than one or two rubberbands on the wing when you have a
stiff up-start. I built a HOB 2x2 that summer. I still have the 2x2 but
most of the original wood is gone!
Both were flying with a Cox Sanwa 2

Guys I'm about caught up with my projects with nothing much left to do this
winter except build a Genie Pro wing once I see a set of cores. I rarely
build except for myself, but would consider building one Genie LT/S for
resale. The LT/S, as I build them, is not suited to rapid production. I

Well most of the parts have arrived for my 4th CNC machine. So it is
time now to think of building at least during the week. Perhaps someone
