Refine reference to SAFL study #35

From @nearyvs.

Remove first reference and maybe second reference if the results are not compared.

to properly simulate lift and drag characteristics

sounds a little strange. A better explanation is that the type of separation and boundary layer dynamics are fundamentally different at these Reynolds numbers. Could explain the transition and laminar separation bubble stuff from Lissaman1983 and McMasters1980, as cited in our Re-dep energies paper.

Though it was somewhat unsuccessful, the SAFL study still provides a little history/motivation for the one reported here.

I think the reference to SAFL RM2 experiments should be in our RM2 paper. The SAFL data makes sense when comparing to our lowest Re run -- and when taking into account the mounting point offset, which precludes an actual quantitative comparison, but still allows qualitative comparison.
