It's modeled after Lynx Winds Gull which had an 8 degree AOA. Which worked well when I made mine. I like the way it fits together . Well thought out. I just hope the bearings remain weather tight.
@@MickEMaus3000 The point where the wing attaches is probably the weak point; if you print any more maybe you could flare that area out along the chord a bit on each side with maybe a 1" radius
sweet looking unit Michael! Should get you around 30W? Very nice engineering on the unit as a whole!!! I'd buy one; sure brightens up a cold snowy winters day 🙂I think 9 degrees is a couple or 3 too many but I'm sure you've thought it out
Nine degrees is just what I scaled off the plans printed on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. I did not realize it was supposed to be 8. I would also prefer a few less, but it seems to work okay. Maybe someday I'll print off a new set of wings. 🙂

I just hope the plastic doesn't break in the cold. :-)
at least the bearings are cheap and easy to replace even if they do wear; looks like a 15 minute job all in

@@MickEMaus3000 After awhile I think Marcus said 6' tested better.
Please share wind speed VS rpm of air foil rotor if you have in your record
I did not record that data.
niiiiiice!!!
