Are you thinking about RC or Full Scale?

I think one of my low-speed DIY RC SPAD planes might be a good test-bed for a saw-tooth LE.


Since this type of coroplas wing has very little lift and can already fly at a pretty high AOA.

It will be very easy to tell if there is any increase in hoover and handling.

I've just got to figure out the best way to implement the saw-tooth
and get some stick time.. Hope to have a plane ready by spring time..
