Default Laminar flow over canopy seam?

Yes, those are from the family of images I was referring to. Thanks for linking them for everyone's benefit.

Too bad they didn't score the model around the canopy to test this. I know from experience it's hard to take a knife to your perfect model considering what they probably paid for it. Although they still could've added a trip that's appropriately scaled for physical size (if they were matching Reynolds number that is), or scaled appropriately for boundary layer thickness (if not matching) to see the effect.

No doubt that you've spawned some discussion for flight tests in the Delft crowd. Good job.
