Title: FT Spitfire
Post by: abhi.vishw on July 03, 2015, 11:35:21 AM
Hi Guys,
It's been a longtime since i was last active on forum's.
It took the life out of 3 FT Nutballs before I get the one Perfectly build and balanced. This 1 was quick to teach me how to fly an Rc plane and nothing has bothered me since then. Next I went on building the beginner series from Flitetest and have been flying them for months. All being intact as they were built.
Now moving onto the Intermediate Series I have recently built FT Versa (It has quite a sizeable wingspan compared to the previous planes, looks beautiful) which is ready for its maiden flight this weekend.
Also I have completed building Wings for the next Plane FT Spitfire but I have messed it up. Ideally the Airfoil is flat on its bottom while the upper camber is having all the curves and peaks. But mine looks like a symmetrical airfoil, upper and lower camber of which looks alike.
It was after i joined both of the wings together and was about to make the fuselage when I noticed this error.
You can see the difference from the image attached.Left one is the ideal Airfoil while right one is what I got.

I'm not sure what would be the effect of using this wing :headscratch: and so would request for suggestions from the veterans out here.
Second one is the FT Versa, beautiful isn't it?;D

Don't worry, it'll fly just fine.
