Hard wax v/s liquid wax (and turbulators)
I am pretty certain that on my ASW-27B the only turbulators on the
wings
ar=

ressurize the ailerons and flaps. I can only guess at the aerodynamics

the turbulator's purpose here but this might be an example of this

ar modern airfoil NOT needing turbulators (per Schleicher at least).
;-)
And what is the purpose of pressurizing the ailerons and flaps??
Could it be to actually pressurize the blow hole turbulators (which
some manufacturers have substituted Z-tape or dimple tape for
because of ease of construction and reduced maintenance
issues)????
