Well, it's alive. It flies great, I like the lift profile, and as expected with the higher aspect ratio and thinner profile, it stalls _hard_.
Foils need anhedral - it's really hard work whipping around something that's so intrinsically stable, and it's definitely going to cause me to chuck my slingshot foils trying to turn them, but it's really good foil practice.
This one was designed in CAD before being copied in wood, so I've already modified it slightly with anhedral, more wing area (more bigger = more better), and will be fixing up the disaster that is the countersunk mounts. It'll print on an Ender 3 in 4 parts in one go, and I'm still figuring out a good way to place the spar.
tl;dr weeee!
