Instead of right thrust you can just have left orange peel!

  You know, that would be the real test of paint texture. One side gloss, the other side rough. See how much rudder trim is needed to make it fly straight.

    Pretty interesting. 

    So does this mean that a bad case of orange peel on the paint job would speed the plane up?  

    What if you only have orange peel on one side?

      You are correct, Jim!!!  The smoother the hull, the more "water like" it is, thus creating more surface to contact the water.  That is why a boat will travel faster with a little ripple on the water than on a dead calm day.

        I think that is called surface tension.

           Dave that's same as I have been told, when I bass fished they always said not to polish the hull as it will be slower, their reason was that the rougher surface would create air bubbles to make a buffer to the water = less drag.

            Or perhaps actually reduce drag!
            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.

              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.
