Polars and G-forces by
Ken Kochanski
As we all know, adding ballast to a glider shifts the polar, allowing
higher speeds at better L/D ratios.

Turb tape Grob 104 by
Dave Kuchenbecker
I have heard that putting turb tape on the TOP of the wing on the G

bottom but not on top. I would like to give it a try but am uncertain
