I will let you know how it performs. By the way, where are you located? Also, what were the circumstances surrounding the wrecking of the Allegro at Sanford?

It has been rebuilt, but is re-registered as an E-LSA. The wings are still in primer, but so far everything is performing fine other than a plastic brake line that broke a couple of weeks ago. It looks like it hot too hot at the caliper and had a "blow-out". I wonder if this has happened to anyone else.

I will contact them today. One the other matter, that does not surprise me at all. In fact I am surprised you received it at all!! How is you airplane performing?

It is more durable than the factory tape and does not show signs of creeping. A note of interest that is off the subject...I ordered a flap eyebolt from Sanford on May 2nd 2008; I received it today.

As stated before, the prop which is on my Allegro 2000 had what appeared to be black electrical tape on the leading edge. Over time the centrifugal force of the rotating prop has caused he tape to creep towards the tips of each blade to the point I have now removed the remaining tape. This tape was on the leading edge to offer some protection during operation. What has been the experience of others who have this prop and tape on their aircraft. I have gotten some information about using a 3M tape product, but would like to know what other alternatives may be available. I am also interested in what type adhesive would be required to keep any other type tape from creeping just as the original tape did.
