KR> wing design question

I am referring to two things, one is an article from Barnaby Wainfan in Kitplanes a few months back talked about it and the other are RV's. unless I am mistaken?? I know sailplanes will change the entire airfoil to a higher lifting airfoil at the tip from the root. Where the root will be fat up to

  If I may... --- Fred: "(if) a barn door no taper wing doesn't require washout,"   Old Piper Hershey-bar wings I've looked at have washout.   Which ones are you referring to that don't 'need' washout? Washout is one strategy to helping the root stall befor

Actually, I'm building Little Wing Autogyro. But Joe Weber has talked me into making it a fixed wing. The fuselage is essentially a 3/4 Cub so it won't be much of a change over. We're going to use KR composite construction. (I'm sure this will get some reaction) :-) L. D. Mueller -Original

Mark, I did mean same airfoil, just thinner profile out to the tip. Like say 18% at the root and 14% or thinner at the tip. All the same chord. The drag at the root would be slightly higher but would the lift be slightly greater also because of the thickness? You are correct, the AS is as good a

Are you using this airfoil on the KR? I would use the AS series airfoil if you were, the only other airfoil I would even consider for the KR is a modified Riblett G37U215 airfoil. It has a bit more camber than the AS but the AS has a flatter camber line so is more stable under large changes in CG
