Okay... now explain how a cheap balsa glider with flat wings flys so well. You know the type, I think Guillow. Thanks for the detailed explanation!!! >From: "Matt Gewain" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "Dana Falconer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PRO

[RCSE] aerodynamic question

2000-10-31 Thread Dana Falconer
I have always wondered this and I bet all of you out there know the answer. Okay here goes... Considering a symmetrical airfoil: Is a symmetrical airfoil used primarily for aerobatics/inverted flight? If so doesn't the top of the wing create less pressure therefore helping to create lift. I
