Read up on turbulators. They're not needed on modern airfoils,


Except that ALL modern airfoils use turbulators.


I am pretty certain that on my ASW-27B the only turbulators on the wings are small 2cm wide sections just in front of the underside NACA vents which pressurize the ailerons and flaps. I can only guess at the aerodynamics of the turbulator's purpose here but this might be an example of this particular modern airfoil NOT needing turbulators (per Schleicher at least). ;-)

Remind me - how did we get from talking about waxing onto the subject of turbulators? ;-)
