Default RE: wing vortex

At the 1960 FAI Control-Line Internats in Budapest, it was common to see the trees at the edge of the control-line circle buffet from the vortices of planes doing consecutive loops directly upwind of the trees. Steve Wooley's plane was the most remarkable that I recall for this effect.
