If they want to do this, maybe they need that rubber leading edge covering 
on the stab.  My Tiger has that and I've always understood it was for prote
ction on gravel runways.

Twice in two days two separate customers (Both have multiple partners ownin
g the plane) have called to tell me one of their partners has landed on gra
vel runways.  Both sustained significant damage to the horizontal.  One wil
l likely need to be reskinned.

There is a guy or sheet metal company that made Baffles for the Tiger.  I think
they where in Alaska or Washington.  Does anyone remember the info on this?

Thanks in Advance,
Thomas

They are garbage though.  Poor fit, and do not conform to the type design.
Baffles are nothing an owner can't fabricate with basic tools and attention
to detail, based on tracing the old parts.

Ken Blackman an at Air Mods NW has templates for the original rubber seals
and can make you a set.  There is a technique for installing them  so that
they curve in the correct direction to lay nicely with the cowl door. One
guy pre-tensions them while the other guy punches holes and installs
rivets.  The preload makes them curl inwards.
