I won't answer your question about "tripping" or
"turbulating" an airfoil because it really is horribly complex and
situation-dependant. Here's some info in the "Aerodynamics" section of Dr.
Martin Hepperle's site:

However, I *will
Let me start a Jihad here. I have experienced what tripping an airfoil can
do on the two best planes I have ever had and beleive in tripping. I have
seen other people acting like it is the best thing since sliced bread after
checking it out. It turbulates the air so there is less seperation ther

The UIUC group issued a report which covered trips. Indeed, some of the
Eppler sections do benefit from being 'tripped'. However, the dimensions
and placement of the trip can significantly affect the result.
Following the earlier Eppler work, the Illinois group (Mike Selig and
his folks) devel

Does anyone today recommend this as a way to improve airfoil

It's also important for your timer to be someone other than yourself.
I remember one of my first contests stepping up to the winch with my
Great Planes Spirit, butterflies in my stomach and no timer. The winch
master asked me where my timer was and I said that I didn't have one.
He informed

Good point, Mike. However some pilots seem to be
entranced by the lady's accent on their Picolario.

Ok... ok... ok OK. I can't resist. ;-) If
you want weaker... slower... heavier... larger... and
more expensive I'd use the JR 368. ;-)
Otherwise, the new Airtronics digital would be a good
choice... 94
