My observation is the the wind puffs up the covers so they stand
completely off the top and bottom of the wing. In a strong wind, the
covers look like they are inflated to a high pressure, making the wing
look more like a sausage than anything else. My guess is this is a high
drag, low lift "airfoil", but I have no documentation for it.

My observation is similar . . . except to me, the puffed up covers look like
the thick, high lift wing on a trainer.
I'd feel a lot better about covers in high winds if there were spanwise
fabric tubes sewn in to allow pipe foam insulation *to be inserted for full
length spoilers.

The standard Jaxida covers look like this in the wind...

(maybe it was really faster than 20 knots in these photos).
Does Jaxida offer a sewn in place to insert a foam tube?
