Wow! I didn't read the previous post by Martin.   I suppose this can become a very complex discussion, which is gonna leave me floundering in it's wake!   Simple explanations which point one in the right direction is enough for a simple hobby RC pilot like myself.   Phil

Brilliant article David!   Pitched just right (for me anyway) and clarified many fuzzy thoughts i had about aerodynamics. Skillful piece of writing. I felt like i was in conversation with you rather than having a lecture. Great links to videos which made my interest soar!  I even got into other fasinating bits of physics. Can't wait to devour next months article.   Definately gonna watch my angle of attack more critically and play around with different aerofoils.   I'm sure you will cover this, but any clues as to why a flat shockie type, depron wing  (or balsa for that matter) gets it's lift?  Is it just light weight and air resistance that keeps simple flat wing models afloat?   Inspirational editing RCM&E (Graham) - I love your mag and always look forward to the 'How to' & 'Why?' features. Keep it comin'.   Phil

Yes pleeeeeeeze

I'm a PrecisionAerobatics man generally, but lets see if i can check out the seagull spec's by kind permision of the Mr Ashby. Good luck everyone! Phil

I was looking for a review on the Precision Aerobatics Katana MD, couldn't find it!?! Then i saw this model... Beauty! So stick my name in the hat for one. Pleeeease!

Is that Mini 12 really driving an 8.5 x 8 prop on a 2s lipo? I fly a Tornado 3D with a Mini 12 driving an 8 x 3.8 prop on 3s lipo. Perhaps thats why i don't quite get the vertical flight i want??
