It's raining at the field today so here is a serious soaring question
to ponder: Should the end of the TE probe on the fin point up or down? Informal surveys at recent contests seem to show a slight preference for up (not counting those "swingers" that go both ways). I've heard all sorts of reasons why each orientation is best - angle of attack during pull-ups, airflow in front of the tail, G-effects on the air column, blah blah blah... I point mine up so I don't snag it when taking off the tail dolly! Comments? Kirk Wet in IL |
