Wing experiment

This is just a wing experiment. After examining Bogdanx's F4U airfoil I was inspired to see if I could even build something similar. And holy crap its hard. I spent so long trying to make the wing flush and smooth. It may not be perfect but this is my very first attempt at making a proper professional airfoil. It doesn't generate lift or anything like that I was just experimenting to see how hard designing a simple airfoil would be. And I found out hard it is. The ailerons don't move perfectly smooth but they do work. It also has functional flaps if you use VTOLdown. So this creation was just a proof of concept basically. Proofing that I can build an airfoil. Now its just improving the smoothness, adding functionality and other details that would make this professional. I almost guarantee that I will never build an aircraft with this airfoil. Just an experiment. If anyone has any tips or suggestions please leave them in the comments down below. Thank you.

    Yea for beginners such as me its really difficult. I had to keep looking at Bogdan's airfoil on his corsair to see how he did it.@Alta2809

    Ok. Thanks for the advice and support. I might practice here and there a little with proper airfoil. And I'll see about actually building an aircraft using it someday. But thanks again for the help.@BogdanX

    This is so sick! I really want to try to do this but I can’t, I don’t have the time at the moment. @Hedero

    Yea this was made on my iPad mini 5. If I wanted to do serious work I would upload it from my iPad and download it on my computer and edit the properties.@BogdanX
