YES! that animation was (for me) one of the first good explanations on airflow and lift ! I can imagine there are many wing profiles, but this one looked convincing. As I understood the profile has been set at an angle of attic of 8° ... what are (from experience) the minimal and maximum workable angles and how do they influence airflow / lift ?

To follow up (airplane general) is there a workable set of dimensions for designing an airplane in terms of wingspan vs. Fuselage length; wing length vs. width and wingspan vs. payload weight ? I'm asking this because my first goal :-p is to build a free throw glider (maybe with a small electro prop on a 30.sec. burst) which can carry a GoPro camera which weighs 167gr.
