Toasterdynamics Episode 11: Canards and the Colt. Part 2.
Investigation of the aerodynamics of the toaster-shaped Mitsubishi Colt Ralliart Z27AG using basic wool tuft analysis and other techniques.
This episode: I got my hands on some commercial canards. Can I make them work for the Colt? Wool tuft testing ensues.

rcoltlyf is not a trained aerodynamicist, mechanic or indeed anything to do with cars. He is a scientist though, likes understanding how things work, and really likes his Colt.
コルトラリーアート! :)
00:00 The low budget but ever-changing intro
00:14 Introduction: What has gone before and the new canards
01:09 Baseline testing

02:52 Testing the 50 degree canard angle
04:05 Testing the 40 degree canard angle
05:03 Conclusions
