remove the inner wing
@KCferrari Thanks for the tip, will try.
@Waemoth If the pitch is insufficient, try squeezing the CoM closer to the CoL. That should help smaller flaps to have a larger impact
@KCferrari Yeah, I'm experimenting with that right now. The problem I'm getting is that the pitching flaps are insufficient.
@Waemoth Probably, but that would create ugly shimmering on the wings unless you offset them a bit. Even then, you would need like 6 wings. I'd say try and get more lift by hiding some lengthwise wings inside the fuselage itself.
@KCferrari Alright, do you think I can get away by simply nudging additional wings into the existing ones? I don't want to ruin the way it looks.
well, your wing load is 303, and it needs to be at most 40 for good flight.. needs more wing area frankly.. a lot more
@TehDuck Greatly appreciated!
@Hadesrocksz Thanks! This is just way too good looking (by my standards) for me to give it up easily :)
I'll give it a shot @Waemoth
As soon as I get home
