new style paint

But, the word rough  explained in the dictionary takes almost a full page with many different variations or variables(your word). Just how rough does it have to be to increase surface tension. We might have to glue marbles on the fuse. Better still  barn door spoilers and flaps work better.  You see we are no closer to the solution.  I guess we leave well enough alone.    Yes it is fun for thought.

  We have too damn many variables. First we need to define roughness, etc,etc,etc. But isn't it fun.         Nat

    After reviewing all the responses, I do remember about the rough surface causing the water molecules to detach and making the boats less resistive in the water. It appears that the air molecules would detach easier from a rough surface and have less drag as Adam ,you and several others stated. I agree now ,just the opposite to drag would happen. Guess I will just have to split the ailerons and let them open with a mercury switch for the downlines.
     So the only benefit would be you don't polish and shine the finish.

    At least I woke up some of you.

      It may reduce the drag !! Keep us posted.     Nat

        All
        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?

        I'll give you one guess what I have been doing today.
