Hi Guys,
It's been a longtime since i was last active on forum's.
It took the life out of 3 FT Nutballs before I get the one Perfectly build and balanced. This 1 was quick to teach me how to fly an Rc plane and nothing has bothered me since then. Next I went on building the beginner series from Flitetest and have been flying them for months. All being intact as they were built.
Now moving onto the Intermediate Series I have recently built FT Versa (It has quite a sizeable wingspan compared to the previous planes, looks beautiful) which is ready for its maiden flight this weekend.
Also I have completed building Wings for the next Plane FT Spitfire but I have messed it up. Ideally the Airfoil is flat on its bottom while the upper camber is having all the curves and peaks. But mine looks like a symmetrical airfoil, upper and lower camber of which looks alike.
It was after i joined both of the wings together and was about to make the fuselage when I noticed this error.
You can see the difference from the image attached.Left one is the ideal Airfoil while right one is what I got.

I'm not sure what would be the effect of using this wing Head Scratching and so would request for suggestions from the veterans out here.
Second one is the FT Versa, beautiful isn't it?Grin
