completely! Would love to see the drawing if you are willing to share? My f
irst question on watching the poor video was this the strake causi
ng this? My understanding is that the strake was added because of the docil
e stall characteristics. It appeared much different than the rest of the wi
ng and now wondering if I should attempt to put them on different chord len
gths. As long as both wings are the samethoughts?=0A=C2-=0ABob

tex Generators=0A=C2-=0AEvening Dick,=0A=C2-=0AI bought a Glasair 1 TD
early model with low hours. I have put some yarn on the wing at in
tervals. Unfortunately poorly filmed so I need to do it again. What seemed
odd and I am not drawing conclusions here yet as I did not get the audio wi
