leading edge templates

I've had the same experience exactly. Goes like stink, flies arrow
straight, best in class glider, and you'd think the right and left
wings came from different types. That's when I knew I should have
spent more on TLAs, buzzwords, and smoke and mirrors.

Several years ago, we made templates along the leading edge of a
popular standard class sailplane . The particular sailplane was a

with these templated. Close? Not at all. But the sailplane went very
well.

The templates were identical left and right. Mirror image. As made in
a machine. Perfect. This particular sailplane *never did well. Not a
winner.
