OK, I will be the first to admit it: I mean here I am in A prolonged Post Pound Date where I go on about Flying, and of course I blather on, and on about The Predator. I just had so much success Flying My One Fifty-eight Predator. Sure, I had one really Bad Day. But that was Fourteen Years ago. But Heck, that was then, and this is now. So yes, I have been thinking about What else? I have been thinking about what Makes the Predator such a Great Wing. Take the as Zack said: It's Phenomenal Sink Rate. I see no reason why a Person could not make Models of Wings such as the Predator and other Wings. Put each Wing through a number of Tests in a Wind Tunnel so that jut How well each wing Generated lift, lift per foot. Then it could be determined how much Wing created an amount of lift compared to another HG Wing. From What I know regarding Wind Tunnels. Using a Wind Tunnel to campare one Gliders ability to generate lift compared to another Wing, would be quite expensive.
I believe that making models of Each Wing. Then finding a Wind Tunnel to do comparative Tests using a Wind Tunnel. Doing it this way: Build Models of Each Wing, then do comparative tests of each wing in a Wind Tunnel just might be somewhat Cost Effective.
I believe that need to get Busy building Models. Then I will find a Wind Tunnel.
