Sinha Deturbulators: Flight Test Evaluation

After three years of working to configure Sumon Sinha's deturbulator
tapes for my Standard Cirrus, we finally brought it to Caddo Mills for
one of those Johnson flight test evaluations. He and Jeff Baird flew
it six times with those shiny silver strips on the wings, then three
times without. What did they learn? Come to the Convention in Memphis
to find out. Dick, as usual, will tell it straight. Will you laugh?
Will you be dumbfounded? Will you believe?

It is nice, but will it work on something other than an antique glider?
Is it better than just putting on zig-zag tape? The tests are
interesting, but mean nothing without direct comparisons to standard
treatments and on a modern airfoil.
