I didn't explicitly say it, but that's what I had in mind. Spray fine
but wide to simulate rain across the whole disc.

Guys,............

IMO, this would be a messy waste of time that would at best yield inconclusive
results, since we'll be lacking average "Emulsification Rate" at true forward
velocity at consistent 100% disk exposure.

When one flies in rain you are actually constantly boring your way through
an endless caustic blend of air, rain and sometimes even ice crystals, which is
pretty hard to statically simulate unless we run the test in a Wind Tunnel and
pump into the air-stream many GPM of H2O......The analogy of us testing it our
way would be that of testing a drill bit for cutting edge erosion by spinning
it in midair and throwing a few handfuls of sand at it :-)

There's an abundance of excellent data, especially "Real Live" data out there
that we can draw from which is more complete and accurate than our's could ever
be.
Plus,...........I don't want "No Stinking Body Slipping on a Wet Floor into our
Spinning LAEV and Bending it" :)
