If you really meant 100" glider, Jack Cash, a member of the CASA club once wrote a nice piece about watching some hawks flying while driving toward them.

A J-3 Cub is flown solo from the back seat the front seat is on the CG also, but the spar is over the front pilot's head. -- Rich Border Marguerite Prunyi http://www.netlabs.net/hp/soarrich Those who pound their swords into plows will plow for those who did not.

It's going to get crowded where you fly. It's probity caused by a sea breeze off the water. Cool air being sucked onto the warmer land and rising toward the hi point of land. The east coast guys can see this on Long Island, you can tell were the coast is from 50 miles out to sea. In the summer there's a line of clouds from Coney Island to Montuke Point about a mile in from the coast. If your flying a TD ship on the slope it doesn't take much wind to stay up. When I got my 8 hour slope, at Camelback PA, I had slope lift up to over 5000', (How high is a Paragon when the wings and body merge into a dot?). When a thermal formed in the valley it would suck the wind off the hill for twenty minutes, but when the thermal, (you could see the cloud), got over the hill you got the slope lift back.

Re: [RCSE] Ideal wing surface texture
Scobie Back when Michael Selig was doing wind tunnel test at Princeton he told me he had run test on this very thing. As I remember it smooth was best, but you might want to ask him. I did my own test by spraying hair spray on one wing and leaving the other smooth, I couldn't find any difference. I did find that trip strips work on a E205 smooth wing though. I put a strip on the right wing @ 15%, and one on the left @ 25%. I found the plane pulled to the left on launch, then to the right while soaring. My conclusion was the 15% strip helped at high angles of attack, the 25% worked at a lower angle of attack. When I put a 15% strip on the wing with the 25% strip, the plane launched straight but still went to the right while soaring. I then put a 25% strip on the right wing and the plane launched straight and flew straight. I had no way to tell if the plane with the strips out performed the when it didn't have them. I should have done early morning dead air launches to test that but I didn't. BTW a Saggitta was good for 3m 30s as opposed to a Windsong that 5m 20s in dead air. These were the averages of 5 launches each alternating between flying the Sag and the Windsong, the way I remember it there wasn't 10s difference in each planes flight times.
