Turbulators:

May 30, 2001
.This is really exciting!~! We test flew the Monarch F with turbulators over the elevators then we test flew it with turbulators over the entire length of the airfoil placed just aft of the Dtube.... remarkable results! The sink rate went down at all speeds! And the Handling improved too! Well now we have to measure the results! This will be more of a problem getting hard data.

Both Mike and Mat flew the F Monarch and witnessed the great improvements we have had over the test program. Mat also did some very high banked turns.... very solid and then did a whip stall with no dropping of any wing tip..... absolutely solid. Infact setting up the landing was very hard as the glider continued in a very low sink rate even with the spoilers extended at speeds of 40 mph.

I'm impressed with this glider!!!

The first test with the turbulator tape at the rear of the dtube before the cloth covering. The ailerons improved greatly!
