Even with washout, the Emeraude (elliptical planform - 23012 airfoil)
will stall fairly abruptly. Like, at 50 you're flying - at 49 you're not.

That's a function of the wing planform - not the airfoil.



That's what I said.

The info on airfoil was for comparison with the "Hershey bar" RV wing - the
same airfoil - different planform.

Just checkin'

Some guys like to think it's the airfoil.
