I haven't, but my plan is to do three x 10,000' polar curve test flights, analyzing speeds: 35-100kts
Then, pull the winglets, bug wipers, inspection panel & scoop off, & repeat the three x 10,000' tows to see the percentage performance loss (I hope!). I wool tufted & GoPRO'd the inspection panel yesterday, but need to do it again closer up - then again with the original inspection panel. Might even get a pressure tester to confirm that the inspection panel is in the correct (or good enough) spot. Will be posting my first glider un-modified flight to YouTube soon, if anyone is interested.
