Yup but the Ugly Stick is so ugly that the earth repels them so thats not a scientific proof.
I haven't seen an Ugly Stick that flies bad, no matter how was built.
On the other side, we can try elevators at the same size of the wings so they fight each other for who is stalling first and then the plane never stalls as they keep fighting each other.

Building a wing shorter than the other is very common in CL circles. In fact, It's done 99.9% of the time to enable to plane to fly a circle without much pilot strain.(drag issue) It does, in no way, lead to an unstable airframe.

Hey, I've got an idea. How about an airliner with all the passenger seats on the outside of the fuselage? That would make for much easier passenger access to the passenger seating area. Who's going to pay me for this revolutionary idea? Come on, Big/Little Brain, give it a rest.

The only reason CL planes do a larger wing on the inside is to keep the plane from flying back at the old geezer trying to spin in his wheel chair.... cut the string and see how the plane flies....

Could you show any pics of that old ugly stick?

Thank you

I need a patron.
Have nobody seen a great business behind my idea?

I'm from the same country of Leonardo da Vinci

Why don't you try it yourself? Nobody's going to spend the money to test your idea. Draw up plans for a small balsa or foamy (if a foamy, give it an airfoil) and just see how it goes. If it does make a dramatic difference, then heck, you won't be the only one trying it!

I hate to build planes, I like only to fly them. I could not build it because I would not be able to fit the fuselage to the wings tapered in the opposite way.

Nobody of my club want to build such a plane because have no time and think it's a crap

Just because you inhabit the same country as a mechanical genius, does not make one a genius

Gee, those drawings look just like Davinci's.....LOL

If you're to lazy to back up your ideas, then they must be crap. If they truly are worth the effort, then build it and you'll be famous for doing that and not for being a keyboard hucker.

If someone thinks that it is a good idea they would have jumped on the opportunity to build it already. Lack of interest speaks for itself.

Have you thought of paying someone close by you to build it? That way you would get your idea tried and the other person wouldn't be out the $$ to build it.

That should have been a clue! Either build it yourself (learn if you have to) and prove us all wrong or right, or let it go! No one want's any part of this...

We here, where I work, just tested a unit that I had designed that I was told by all but 2 people here that I wouldn't work. It was a few simple peices that would convert our single stage compressor into a 2-stage. I was told that it had been tried before or that the engine didn't have enough horsepower and that it would become to unstable inbetween stages and blah blah blah........Well, it work and now we are looking at more tests to refine and make it more efficient. It will be a lot of work but if it works then great, if not you will learn a whole lot that might help you come up with a new idea.
