Very well explained! It's nice to get to understand the principles behind aerodynamics. Looking forward for the next Theory Thursday.
Thank you!

He uses his videos to finance his hobby, should watch rcmodel reviews so he gets credit.

Great video, I really like the white board, classroom feel.
I'm getting education and I like it.
I would like to see a video on different wing designs.
Flat bottom, semi and symmetrical wing, and the different flight characteristics of each.

Is it possible to do something on combined ailerons/flaps, also heard the term butterfy flaps think it means ailerons move both up an flaps down.
thanks Karel
