Regarding the current thread on going faster with smooth paint/ polished aluminum; The CAFÉ group of Northern California specifically ran tests less than 3 years ago on an extensively instrumented test bed airframe to determine the effects of a “professional wax job” and resulting performance.

Troy Petteway's KR2 massaged 0-200. His plane will do more than 220 mph Steve Alderman has a similar plane...radical 0-200 engine ... will push 220 mph ... Really glad someone asked - I like the answer. I accept that a quick KR will take some

Larry, The glider boys have found that if you matt your wing the drag is appreciably less, hence before a contest you see all these fellows flatting there wings with water paper. No one has explained this to me satisfactorily, has anyone heard a plausible explanation Cheers John >> polished to
