so we've got the winner :))
looking on the pictures i assume the flat pannels are realy flat
i mean the don't have the aerodynamic shape?
when i've been taking about the plane with oyo i did tell him to use

| (...) Ya, they are just flat, I tried an aerodynamic shape right at first but my design kept not working so I went to the flat design. The next version most likely will have an aerodynamic design though. (...) Thanks, rubber powered planes are one (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jul-03, to lugnet.technic)
