so i just got back from a trip to New Orleans this past weekend.. and on the plane ( boeing MD-88) i noticed that the entire leading edge of the wings had a layer on it that would move. it would extend forward and also tilt downward... i'm assuming this changes the airfoil of the plane. i noticed this on landing... i'm pretty sure it did it as well on takeoff, but i can't be sure as i needed some good drugs to get me on the plane due to my nerves ;D
does anyone know any info about what this does to the plane's airfoil and flight properties?

oh well... guess its by the books. even though pretty much everyone who flies DLG can be reached and asked regarding changing dates around... but the book is law and without law.. well.. you all know where i'm getting at. sunday is gonna be tough for me and alot of other people... i guess we'll see how the week pans out and who can/can't attend.

i won't be flying in this contest... winds are too much.. not worth loosing a plane so early in the season. dan, if you get there and it isn't so bad... call me on the cell... but i seriously don't think i'll be up to 17+ winds. -rob

ooo.. 13mph winds are a little much for my skills on the big planes.. i'm gonna have to play it by ear.
