Default RE: Waxing an Rc Airplane

I wonder if anyone has ever done some actual measurements of the coefficient of friction, in air, of a smooth surface (Monokote) vs. a smooth waxed surface. It would need to be done in a wind-tunnel to eliminate variables in wind speed and direction. I''ll bet there''s less than 1% of difference.
