Do you actually want to know if your modifications work, or not? Because every time I've suggested testing something on this and your other thread you've come back with excuses why you can't. You're not alone; this is unfortunately a common attitude (and I used to be the same way), but it's one that needs to change if you want to engage with the real world of aerodynamics and not "mathematics from fantasyland" (to borrow a phrase from my first- and second-semester calculus professor). It's why I wrote this piece a few days ago.
