What
is roster tail drag? how and where does it get created? Is there anything about
that written up on the net?
I'd
like to know since I'm in the process of figuring out where to put my radiators
in the Long EZ.
Thanks
Marko

exit drag. Studies have shown that is a real significant component of
drag. Canard folks have picked up significant airspeed by making them go
away. Best ... Jim S.
