KR> RAF-48

Jeff said, "While many seem to poo-poo the RAF-48 airfoil, mostly for it's unknown data points, it is a gentle airfoil with plenty of warning for stalls." That's certainly been my experience. Maybe it's just an OWT but I read or heard many years ago that it's the same airfoil as the Spitfire.

Undoubtedly Mark will chime in here with the facts, but it seems to me that one variant of the AS series airfoil was designed to be a retrofit to the original spars. However, it is recommended to break the rear spar out of the fuselage and raise it a bit to correct the incidence of the wing wit

Many aircraft are designed with different airfoils across the span of the wings. First step might be to make a template of the innermost rib of the AS5046 wing and see how it matches up to the outermost RAF48 rib on the center section, chord line to chord line. A fence of some type may be neces

KR> AS5046 wings on RAF48 inner stub wing?

2020-03-13 Thread Samuel Spanovich via KRnet
I am curious if this is even possible, let alone a good idea. I’ve heard nothing but good things about the new airfoil wings, and certainly wouldn’t mind having them on my existing KR, however I am curious if they can be ran without modifying the inner stub wing utilizing the RAF48 airfoil. So
