Default Interesting biplane project... look at the wing profile

Item number 260325125475 if that URL doesn't work for you.

The thing I'm curious about is the wing profile. Sections like that
seem to work for the F-117 stealth fighter. But it seems a bit out of
place on this aircraft.

Thanks, Bob K.

Way to wierd to fly! Plus I can't imagine the thing would lift the nose
as the owner noted. 500# empty weight, 290 pound pilot and a 440cc
engine (which, if I recall, is about 35 HP)? That is one goofy shaped
airfoil for sub-sonic use (I'm making the assumption here that the thing
is designed to be sub-sonic!). I can't imagine getting too many bids on
that contraption...
