Flying Wing Sloper - experts pls give me some guide

[edmond22]

Hi guys,

I need some help with the following:

- CG Mac for flying sloper, 17%, 20%?
- Wing loading or cube loading range for BR flying (sedate to aerobatics)

I am almost complete with my wing and just needed the above to get it right before making my trip down to BR lol. I build wings for power flight before but I think sloping is quite another thing. Thanks for any help given.

Wings does not go with sedate flying at BR!

Edmund,

Flying wings usually have CG about 20% MAC but 17% is a good starting point. Typical slope soarer this size has wingloading around 7-8oz/sqft, but you can add ballast weight when the wind picks up. Having a lighter wing loading allows you to fly it in weaker lift, and you can add ballast later on. If you start off with higher wingloading, you have to fly in stronger winds.
