Posted for "John W. Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com>:

 In the regard to thickness of the trailing edge, I have been told that
 aerobatics use a thicker TE to reduce stick force.  Can anyone direct me
 as how to design or where to study what the TE should be to be optimum
 for our aircraft.  On the Air Transport aircraft that I work on they are
 composite in construction and usually between 0.25 to 0.375" in
 thickness.
 This is a subject that I have always found interesting.
