Wing Tape - Does Thickness Affect Performance?
"Andy" wrote in message oups.com... wrote: Tape drag not a huge effect, but can add up to 10 or 15 points over the course of a contest. How many days would that be? Can you also tell me how many points it costs for the drag of an open airvent and an extended pee tube? Andy 7, 34 & 20-400 depending on how often you pee, how it takes to void your bladder and whether or not you remember to retract the gear afterwards. fadoodle gotcha!
