    Hello Peter,
    Thanks for remark.
    You're right, but my intention is to take slow vids and pictures from the sky during calm and sunny days above my beautiful region, full of woods and small valleys.
    For other purpose i've got other planes !
    Besides, the cambering was somewhat "dampened" during the construction process, not quite what was originally planned... i guess it will work anyway.
    But you're right, as she has removable wings, i will study "situation-related" wings.

    That is a highly cambered wing - how do you think it will perform when the wind is blowing?
