I am using a GWA-1 airfoil. It's trailing edge is blunt, 1/2 inch thick.
Supposedly as the wing reaches it's stalling angle, a rotating horizontal
vortex develops along this trailing edge. The higher pressure on the
underside and lower pressure on the top forces the vortex to rotate such
that i

about drag, there never seemed to be any penalty to airspeed when you
activated it. There was a good gasket around it's closed position. Rain
