Tests with Turdulators on Cherokee II

Today when I got the glider out of the hangar I noticed that it had
been graced with Avian Turdulators. Ive heard a lot about this
revolutionary aerodynamic breakthrough so i thought id try it out. I
did take a hose and knock them down pretty flush with the wing
planform so that they only did their magic on the boundary layer
flow. It seemed to work out pretty well during most of my flight (see
Wood over Iowa thread), but late in the day I was not impressed as I
landed out about 5 miles from home. So much for these 'inspired by
nature' performance enhancing devices...
