Gday Kev
She looks like a highly aerobatic machine, good stuff. I got massively bogged last night working out the wing positions for the ES40 biplane conversion. I had forgotten just how "dry" the findings of Betz Fuchs and Hopf were, however they wrote the book on effective biplanes way back in 1914. Their various equations still stand and are extremely useful.However doing the number crunching has temporarily broken my brain. So I am tweaking up my new glider for some mental relief.
Very sick of this weather, if I do not get a fly in soon I am going to go insane.
Cheers
