Is there an optimum spoiler size - say percent of chord?
Working on a low aspect ratio 2M with a root chord of 15.375.
Center panel (where the spoiler will be) is flat and 20.5 span.
I'm not sure what you mean by optimum.
The bigger the spoiler and the farther forward it is,
the more sink
Currently I have a 2 spoiler drawn in with the leading edge
at 45% which I believe is the beginning of the 1st flat facet.
Will that be ok? I'll go ahead and lengthen it to 2.5.
OK.
Your comment about the elevator is interesting. Although I would like to
locate it just off the boom per
2 matches
