Isn't it funny, all the theory of NACA Airfoil sections, a nice curve to the top of the wing, and a flat bottom section... When the thing works perfectly well upside down!
Read somewhere recently that it might be all wrong and the flat plate effect is much more powerful than we thought. Although having said that, you would have thought that over the last hundred years they would have figured it out.
