Rigorous engineering work has been done on this subject. See article
by Funston in Technical Soaring July 1989, p90-95.

I went searching last night for a copy and was unable to find
anything. *Hopefully the Technical Soaring series will be included in
SSA's scanning project. *I can get you in touch with the Author if you
want to contact me by email. *You can find a number of threads that
include some of the results if you put "funston trailer sway" into the
group search.

I thought (at least some of) Technical Soaring was online at the OSTIV
website, but I haven't tried to find them. The SSA website might say
where they are. It would be great to have them on the SSA site like Soaring.

I took a look through OSTIV, but wasn't able to find anything. There
may be a members area that has some of that available. Does anyone
know?
