I believe the Rebel, Elite and Moose all have modified NACA 4415 airfoils.

They are all 60 inch chords. The Moose has a longer wing with additional
doublers and perhaps some thicker skins.

Subject: [rebel-builders] wing form

Is the Moose wing's form (i.e., modified NACA xyz or whatever) the same
shape as the Rebel wing? Presumably the scale is different -- just wondering
about the aerodynamic similarity of the shape.

I wondered because AFS has a recommended location for their angle of attack
(AOA) system's air ports on a Moose wing and I was wondering if that would
translate easily to a Rebel. With identical airfoils, optimal positioning of
the AOA ports should also be the same.

Thanks.
