ASW20 or LS6
*That "0 incidence wing"
Story time........On a long final glide with another LS-6, we were dead even, 35 miles out, best L/D, no wind, no sink. My wingman said, "watch this" and slowley but surely, he started gaining on me. When he reached 20 feet above me, I asked, "OK what did you do?" He replied, "I pulled in one notch of flap" (+5) Why did that work? Because my ship with zero flap and slow speed, the fuselage was slightly nose up, but the air hitting the ship with +5 flaps was straight into the relative wind. I regret the day I sold the old girl, JJ
