Outboard Washout Angle reduced, possibly select alternate airfoil for tip. #10

The washout from root-to-tip is fairly large, owing to this being my first plank design and my selecting a generous washout angle, which on some casual analysis is likely too much. Reducing this too far may result in tip-stalling and poor flight characteristics. The tip airfoil could also be swapped or altered.

This issue would require changes to the OML, v2.0.x required.

Related to this, the the top wing surface should be made geometrically developable for future features to be announced.
