Went back into the digital world between helping clean up flood damage and
waiting
for flying conditions to improve.
Decided to see what wing root flares do in cruise config; short answer, not a
great
deal... they look pretty and clean up the air flow. The gains in drag reduction
are minor compared against standard factory config. If anything they probably
reduce noise; smidgen of drag reduction and lift increase.
Remodelled the canopy slightly to match actuals closer; thought the sleeker rake
would improve performance; surprised to see the data go the other way... and
that may change again once an active spinning prop gets introduced into the
solution.
Lismore town and airfield still destroyed...
