Posted for "Lloyd Dunlap" <ldunlap181639MI@comcast.net>:
I'm curious if anyone has applied turbulator tape to the bottom of their 320
/ 360 wings like Dave Morss did to decrease parasitic drag. When I put some
used oil on the wings to find the airflow separation point I don't seem to
have any remarkable airflow patterns on the bottom of the wing that would
indicate separation of the laminar flow. Am I missing something here ??? I
sure did make a nice mess though !

Lloyd,
I always thought that the laminar flow separation occurs on the top of the wing. Why are you checking the bottom?
Someone please correct me and the "Aerodynamics for Navel Aviators" manual, if I am wrong.
