extremely painful jetstream

[swoeric]

ok so i found where the massive airblast on my head was coming from.....it was the control cable holes for the wings....has anybody glued a leather patch or covering here...


well it was cold air at 11000 ft today anyway

this high pressure area might be a nice place to install a directional vent that opens into the wing root area without extra drag

Yes, I put leather patches over the aileron cable exits. Use soft, "glove" leather, cut round or football shape with pinking shears, then, with a utlility knife, cut a "X" in the middle of the patch for cable pass through, glue on, rough side down, with Poly-Tak.
