I noticed in looking at the pictures from the contest that many of the
gliders shown had what I presume was bug wipers at the leading edge wing

"back" in vogue? I don't know any contest flyer who doesn't use them. I'd
say they are one of the best inventions in gliding history. They are still
useful on modern airfoils, to say nothing of older ones, like on my LS1.
