This isn't technically a scratch build question but I thought you might know the answer to this. I'm new to the sport and currently fly with a converted Gentle Lady... 3S Lipo, micro-servors, folding prop, etc. Flies fantastic and I love it because I get about an hour of soaring time on one charge.
I recently inherited a wing from a local RC guru who is no longer around. I have no idea what plane the wing came from, but it's nearly identical to the GL wing... same surface area, dihedral, etc. The only difference is that the donor wing has much less camber than the stock wing; the internal ribs aren't nearly as high. Question is, what will happen if I put it on a GL? Will it fly a little faster? Cut through the wind a little better? Or am I asking for trouble?
Thanks,
