while thinking about flight dynamics and airfoils,
it dawned on me that elevons on a flying wing,
such as my daw me-163 komet, don't really function
aerodynamically like elevators.
the stabilizer/elevator counteracts the moment-force
of a cambered wing, which typically causes the plane
to pitch
I WANT to try Bowman's JW airfoil, but no one on this exchange has been
forthcoming with the coordinates. :(
This site shows a flying wing airfoil (5010), it might help.

I am unsure as to how much washout I should plan to
The DAW Schweizer 1-26 you are currently flying is a rather nice versatile
slope glider when properly trimmed (especially if the glider has been built
with ailerons and reduced dihedral of about 2 degrees). If the glider was
built with rudder/elevator and standard recommended polyhedral it
Can anyone give some advice on foam flying wings?
I am learning to fly with a DAW S1-26 (2m.) but I have trouble every
time I try to fly in moderate winds. Is there a wing that is
beginner-proof, easy to fly and penetrates better than my sloper?.
Should I get a foam 60" racer (Enigma or similar)
