First Tufted Wing Flight

On February 13, 2016 we installed neon orange tufts of yarn on the right wing. It was time for some confirmation of airflow patterns over the wings. The wide angle Sony video camera would document air flow and characteristics approaching stall. Jim and Miguel Iturmendi launched into calm winds behind Silvio Ricardi in SoaringNV’s trusty Pawnee tow plane. This time we have posted some awesome in-flight photos. Everything performed as expected.
