Hi
I was out with my Angel today and on the second flight I smacked a particularly strudy thistle on landing which knock one of the lift thingies fairings off one the undercarriage legs. I was having such a good time that i decided to fly again accepting that i would probably need a click or so of aileron to compensate. Plane took off and needed zero aileron trim. So my question is do these things actually do anything or are they purely asthetic?

David I also get a resonating buzz in Knife edge.

IMO it's a gimick. Don't get me wrong, any surface generates lift but I think the amount is negligable...
