Awright.

There's more to aerodynamics than that covered by your philosophy.

Area and airfoil are not really the right starting place for a new
and novel configuration.


Re: the dimensions of your wings...

First - learn about Reynolds number.
Very few of the published airfoils work well below about 3 meg RN.

What does that mean in regard to your choices?

Well, the two-foot chord wing is going to have to move pretty fast to make
3 meg RN.

The four-foot chord wing will have twice the RN from the start.
