Ok, say your building an Emeraude and your not looking to make it a
speed demon, you just want to close up a few gaps.
I forgot to add - the washout in the Emeraude wing will cost you a few miles
per hour. So, after you get the gaps closed (which give you controllability
at or near stall) and you remove the washout (which allows the tips to keep
flying as the root stalls) you will have a faster Emeraude. You will also
have a snaprolling SOB at stall speeds. Combine this with it's tendency to
go into a flat spin with an aft CG and you will have a real handful.
Good luck!
