I'm going to start work on the Simple Soarer this weekend - God willing - and was going to modify the wings to include ailerons and flaps.
To accomplish this I was going to eliminate the dihedrals (sp?) at the mid-point of the wings and reduce the dihedral in the middle to half effectively making the wing straight from the center and allowing for cutting the flaps and ailerons.
The beauty of the foam board scratch builds is that if it doesn't work I can try again but was also wondering if anyone had tried something similar or if you see anything inherently wrong with the plan.
Thanks!
