I have been trying with each design, to install the wings at a slight upward angle.
I figured more angle of attack would help with lift.
But all the models are stalling...too much lift?...and all require weight to keep the noses down and the flight level.
But I am under the impression this is the best method of approach,
since it is only possible to add weight to the nose...not take it away.
The next step in controlling the pitch, would be elevator action.
re your camber idea...
Since the wings are straight/level at the fuselage, it would be hard to maintain the curve in the wing...?
And what exactly would the would camber do?...add more lift? (which we don't really want).
Not being argumentative...I am honestly curious about the camber idea.
My first design, copied the curved (cambered) wing shape (thru-the-fuselage attachment)
...but it did not fly at all! It immediately dropped and twisted out of control.
The flat wing has worked a lot better.
Hey, I'm no expert on paper planes or gliders.
The best I have ever done, to this point, is assemble someone else's glider
or fold the basic paper airplane!
