The actual model is significantly better that the photos shown especially the details inside the cockpit.

With the tape I show a 2kts increase in IAS. I ordered 3 rolls of the 2" size since I knew I was going to mess up a little until I figured out how to do it correctly. BUT I would up selling one roll to a friend qith an RV-4 and still have one roll left over. Here is a link to where I got it: http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/bowlus.htm Galin On Mon, May 28, 2012 at 10:29 PM, Scott Stearns wrote: > > I put gap seals on the ailerons, trim tabs, and flaps of my TR-1.
