Sorry for the late reply, Andrew - I only just saw this.Thanks for all that great info and advice, Doc.
Interesting to hear that there may be more merit to TLAR ("that looks about right") than meets the eye. Was that a pun? Oh dear.
You mentioned BSLD. That's been a topic of interest for me, too, ever since I came across the work by Al Bower et al on the NASA Prandtl-D wing. Now I know your Toccata incorporates BSLD in its wing design.
It's been a while since I perused publications and discussion of the Prandtl-D. Do I recall correctly there being a fair amount of heavy duty math required to compute the wing twist? Yikes. Hopefully, I can find workaround for the math in my own tinkering. If you have any tips, I'm all ears. Keep in mind that although I'm not technically incompetent, I am definitely unschooled in aeronautics.
Best,
Andrew
To make the BSLD work for the stabilised model, I had to work on the wing planform a bit, and so it's very "crescent".
But it's really quick and agile - maybe the fastest 2M out there, or so my friends in Europe say.
If you do decide to do any designing and you need a hand, just fire away - I'll be glad to help.
Cheers,
Doc.
