Woke up about 4am today. Tried to ignore the fact that I was awake and pretended to sleep for another hour or so. Gave up and decided that today I would finally tuft test the "New" Kambak.

So. Drove around a bit, bought skinny ribbon instead of Yarn, Tape. a 12' USB extension cable for my web-cam.

made some tufts, taped them to the kambak. Couldnt get the Webcam to work on my laptop. at first I thought it was software. but I think it expired at some point this winter. Plan B, Tried to set up my Digital Camera. For some reason I cant find my mini-data cable to hook my Camera to the Laptop. Think it got "Loaned" to my son and never came back. Finally decide to just set the Digital camera up to record, and duct taped it to a broom handle taped on the back bumper. Of course at that point my neighbor showed up needing a ride. So 45-hour later I finally got to tuft test.

Results? Almost NO movement on the first run (A sprint to 50, coast down to 45 and held 45) the second run (sprint to 50 and held 50) there is SLIGHT movement at 50 MPH. Is that laminar airflow? Can you say "good enough for me?"

Ill post vids after I get a new Mini-data cable.
