Rudder Turbulator Strips

[Chris Theron]

Definitely done - evident on some photos from 97 & 99 worlds if I recall
correctly (I know that out Team incorporated this on their Pachinko,
design)- the exact effect I am not sure of - more effective rudder and
higher directional stability (blunt/square edge) I guess. I haven't seen it
on any of the modern designs.
