Re: [Aus-soaring] Aerodynamics Query
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.

Re: [Aus-soaring] Aerodynamics Query
It indicates to me that you should seal the pushrods where they come out of the wing. You can make seals from spinnaker cloth. Used to be a common thing to do before the manufacturers put seals in the wingroots.

Today I test flew my Cirrus with an extract vent (made out of my pre-existing inspection panel). The tape after inspection today was significantly sucked in. What does this indicate to you?

I was going to say that it indicates that before we only thought it but now we have proof that the cirrus really does suck. ... but I'm not going to say that. cheers JR ___ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
