<DIV><SPAN class=703325402-04122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Seems
I remember a few years ago that some of the America's Cup boats found that by
using a textured surface material on the hulls that drag was actually reduced
compared to a very slick surface. My memory is fading fast but as I remember the
textured surface caused the water molecules to release easier than from a slick
surface.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is too quiet. Suppose a person has a 9.5 lb.
primed wide body plane and he stiples the fuse. with ceiling paint(popcorn
texture), then he overcoats the stiples with PPG for a coloring.
The idea would be to make a draggy fuse with slower down lines. An increase
in power would be necessary because of the extra drag, we have plenty of
power now,so that shouldn't be a problem. The wings, stab, and verticle
would be left clean. I think it would work. Also you would not have to
rub and polish the finish. Whaddaya think?</FONT></DIV>
