hey, actually i want to design an RC airplane which is using GOE 517 as its airfoil and has fuselage of 0.9m around it and the wingspan and chord length of this airplane are 1m and 0.2m respectively. Can you please guide me in designing this
you can get a dxf of the airfoil here http://www.airfoildb.com/airfoils/752
and its properties.
If you don't mind me saying, an AR of 5 seems low for the applications i'd expect this airfoil to be used for.
I'm not saying it's not good, just emphasizing that calculating losses is a must.
See my models here in grabcad. I designed it and build some of it and they fly. You can use these drawings as a first approach. Design is a very iterative process.
