Procedural Control Surface width affects center of lift

Open geralddarden opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

When changing the width and length of the control surfaces the center of lift is changed asymmetrically.

The issue does not seem to occur if using the default width (0.240).

To be more specific the inbalance occurs only when width@root != width@tip and seems proportional to the both this difference and the length of the control surface.
