Toasterdynamics Episode 10: Canards and the Colt (or "dive planes" if you drive a submarine)

Investigation of the aerodynamics of the toaster-shaped Mitsubishi Colt Ralliart Z27AG using basic wool tuft analysis and other techniques. This episode: What do canards do, and can I make a functional set for the Colt?
CFD: Computational Fluid Dynamics
Music: "Flying" - Snowplow, "Lowest Of Fi Riddim" - Konrad OldMoney (Royalty-free), "Little Cookie II" - William Rosati (Royalty-free)
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.

    Well that would be giving things away! And then I would actually have to do some work instead of leaving it another few years.

    Every time when I am on the M3 I always wonder if your are on it doing your test
