If you gather 20 reputations points you'll be able to post in "chat" rooms and maybe we could discuss some more. But honestly I don't think I have a great deal more to add-- I don't actually design airplanes, either full-scale or model... | |
| Feb 7, 2023 at 19:03 | comment | added | Mark | To "quiet flyer".......So, would you suggest to make the front wing smaller, or the rear wing smaller? And as you have said " In general, it makes sense to put the ailerons on whichever wing has the greater span", I will put ailerons on the big one and elevators on the smaller one. I have edited my answer and added a picture of my plane, I will be glad to hear any suggestions, as you clearly aren't new to this topic :). Thank you sincerely for your time. | |
