Could higher aspect ratio actually reduce gliding efficiency of a smaller glider? I have been building 1 meter wingspan 100g class free flight mono wing gliders with a chord of around 10 cm and a flying speed of approximately 3 meters per second.  So far glide ratios of around 10:1 have been achieved.  The wing thickness is 1.2 centimeters.  The airfoil
has maximum thickness at 3.5 cm from leading edge.  The bottom is flat, but only covered 6 cm from leading edge, leaving an undercambered area the remaining 4 cm to the trailing edge (this design grew out of thin undercambered wings).

So, is there a maximum aspect ratio  (possibly based on Reynolds number calculations and/or "pressure leakage" due to the small scale or low speed)?  Or do we continue to
go for as high an aspect ratio as structurally possible.

Reynolds number for airfoils = Vc/v where V = 3 m/s, chord = 0.1 meter, kinematic
viscosity at sea level = 1.460 × 10 minus 5th power = 20,548 for my model.

A response by Peter Kampf June 22, 2018 to "Is it best to use a thick airfoil or an undercambered airfoil for for slow speed flight" mentioned the Daedelus airfoils DAE 11,
DAE 21, DAE 31, so it seems to be on the right track.

I am getting ready to start a build, would there be an optimal aspect ratio for this 
new aircraft?
With again thanks to other writers who have inputted valuable information, it has been found that excessive aspect ratio, by way of Reynolds Number, can effect gliding efficiency
of a smaller, slower glider negatively as follows:

Reynolds number = Vc/v.  Slower speed and shorter chord reduce Reynolds number. Kinematic viscosity of air v does not change.

Using Airfoil Tools, Coefficient of Lift/Coefficient of Drag at various Alpha was evaluated using a range of Reynolds Numbers from 50,000 to 1,000,000 for the Bleriot Eiffel 428 (thin undercambered)  and the Wortmann FX 60 126 (thicker, less under camber).

It was found that Clift/Cdrag is significantly greater, at higher Reynolds number, particularly in a "sweet spot" around 6 degrees AOA.  In this region, drag seems to "plateau", while Clift continues to rise.

At very low Reynolds Numbers, the Eiffel 428 showed a slightly better Clift/Cdrag ratio, but in ALL cases higher Reynolds number improved Clift/Cdrag ratio up to around 500,000 (will vary depending on air foil type), after which the polars seemed much more consistant.
