However, I don't want to be stupid. Mike Palmer has used it on his Hartzell. Has anyone used it on the wing? Does it work on a faster wing like ours or is it primarily for a high lift airfoil? Tom Hamilton chose our airfoil because it allows the air to stay attached a ways past the thick part of the chord, lowering drag at higher speeds. Should tape be applied further back than on a slower wing? Will it cause a loss of lift in rain? If anybody has thoughts on this I would appreciate the discussion. The tape is fairly inexpensive at 4.95 per foot. www.dimpletape.com Robin Young ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message glasair-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Glasair-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/glasair-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/glasair-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
