Why not keep the wing foil clean and wipe down with a silicone to prevent bugs from sticking. Also. Bugs will be close to the ground. Would not think there would be as many up higher causing drag or changes to the air foil so much.

Bugs are from the ground to the top of thermals. So, everywhere a glider flies.
@TheAnachronist Жыл бұрын
Because no bug coating is perfect (and silicone needs to be re-applied, has environmental impacts, is more labor intensive). And yeah, bugs are mostly close to the ground, which is exactly where you take off from. So you need to wipe off the bug juice after passing through lower altitudes.

It’s enough drag that the old glider computers used to have a bug setting. You could tell the computer how much bug contamination you felt the wing had and the computer would downgrade your glide performance. This was before bug wipers.

@Cirrus40003 жыл бұрын
I'm no expert but would assume very little impact. I think the LS3 has water ballast anyway but not sure if Stefan flies with it. Also I see this on the Wikipedia page.. "In spite of its weight the LS3 is a nimble climber. It is also less sensitive to rain or dirt than other types with the same [wing] profile." So I'm not convinced that the extra drag of the kit out ways the benefit. But like I say, I'm no expert, so what do I know. :)

Hi Andres, the bugwiper wings are equipped with nylon filaments, that scrape the bugs off the wingnose. the bugwipers are not mounted on the wing, they just stay in place because auf the aerodynamic forces. The retrieval line, that is powered by the electric winch, guides the bugwiper on it´s way to the wingtip and brings it back to the parking position at the fuselage. So you can clean your wings regularly during flight and and maintain full glide ratio.

@@NoTengoIlusiones It's really simple. All of us who fly gliders have had to clean the bugs from the wings after every long flight. In Europe, in Africa, in the Americas. Sometimes it's quite a task, as there are so many. And it has been measured how they affect performance (the measure is bugs/metre, as what matters most is the leading edge of the wing). There is nothing "psychological" about it. And, if you cannot imagine that you'll smash a ton more bugs doing 170km/h than you do at 20km/h, then you have way less experience than you claim.
