The book is 'Performane Enhancement of Sailplanes' by Chris Masak (of winglets fame). I bought a copy thru one of the US soaring supplies websites. A good read if you are into this sort of thing. Cathy Conway has borrowed my copy and is still yet to return it (hint, hint Cathy).... perhaps QH is getting a makeover.
I responded off list to John and gave him a copy of notes for an aircraft performance enhancement talk that I give each year at SAGA performance week. I wasn't sure whether he meant that he wanted to check the profile of his wings to the original design or whether he wanted to put a newer profile design on.
