Wing and Tail plane design info needed (model aircraft)
AC Horiz Tail: Lift Slope: dCl/dAoA ~ 2*Pi (AR/AR+1) * COS (sweep) Sometimes AR/(AR+2) is used to convert from section lift data to finite wings. In any case, the Aspect Ratio of the Horiz Stab is generally less than that of the Wing, so the lift slope is lower. Pitch Damping is...- RonFreimuth
