With luck, z++;

Today I did a lot of math regarding the lift of a non-airfoil wing. From the math and review of the videos, my best bet is that we aren’t properly maintaining the right angle of attack during takeoff. The leading edges aren’t near strong enough either, but that’s something I can’t fix (if anyone knows where to get thin wall aluminium tubes I would love to purchase two…) In any case, I will be in NJ at the end of this week. I have a couple ideas as to increasing the angle of attack. I’ll be sure to post pics, and with any luck video of some flight!
