i like to use the curve network for creating wing surfaces have you compared it to your sweep method? i thought sweep could only use a single airfoil along the whole span and did you orient each airfoil perpendicular to the dihedral distribution?
Both work for our applications. Just be cautious on the joint with Sweep2. See link for comparison between the two. And yes, all airfoils are perpendicular to rails. ruclips.net/video/kZ_NLN3SGNM/видео.htmlsi=Ta0XgVlcJDfoOIaQ
Thanks for watching. To be clear of “legal” issues, I’ll release a new version based on the learnings learned from this exercise. Will be a modified planform with all the new features highlighted in the video. May be a new airfoil too. Please stay tuned.

Did the printed wing weigh about the same as the original?
This is designed and printed at 5% infill. It’s heavier and stronger than the original fiber glass version
Nice. What cad software did you use?
Thanks. I use Rhino
Dear Geode, do you plan to sell the files? I would be very interested (and I think I am not the only one).

@@geode_rcGreat! Thanks for your fast answer. I am looking forward to your new version. Kind regards from 🇨🇭
