How to chose the right airfoil - Page 3

Hello Peter,

Right here in Singapore, there's only one popular slope at Bedok reservoir which is shown in the above picture. However, slope flying there is only possible during the NorthEast monsoon season during December to March. Around June to September, we have the SouthWest monsoon wind and I sometime fly my TG-3 over the 2m high( Yes! Only 2m ) slope on an eroded part of the East Coast beach. It's not a legal flying site since it's quite close to the International Airport ,but I'm pushing my luck since I restrict my flying to tree top height and fly within a 50m zone. No trouble so far. You can see why I chose the Clark-Y wing TG-3 for the job.It's like a "park soarer".I got this idea after reading a Dave Garwood's article titled "Small hills, big air" from the March 2000 issue of the MAN. The best time to fly there is when the tide is low.

No fines so far.

In Poland we use the CRD family of profiles which contributes significantly to local development of aviation activity.
Their numbering vary, but the acronym could be directly translated into WHG - "Whatever Hand Gave" ('Co Ręka Dała')
