Oh, and one more thing. I may be the only idiot that's ever done this, but I'm telling you so you won't be the second idiot to do this. Do not fly without wing gap seals installedit seriously compromises the lift you get from the wings! And definitely don't EVER fly with one removed and

I hate to even add to this endless thread on wing gap solutions, but what I did on N56ML was lay down a layer of duct tape about 6" wide that covered the gap plus a couple of inches on each side. Duct tape stretches a bit and doesn't have the issue of having to bend like aluminum does, and it

My wing gaps are covered with 3M 471 tape. The holes where the WAFs are are just filled with foam blocks. It's not pretty but it holds up at over 200 mph and is easy to remove for inspection. Chris Pryce Vacaville, CA On Mon, Oct 18, 2021, 19:38 Craig Williams wrote: > I used aluminum roof flas

I used aluminum roof flashing and painted it once in place. I know others have used duct tape or aluminum speed tape. Just depends on how nice you want it to look or easy to remove. Craig N886MJ (N51CW) > On 10/18/2021 6:50 PM Spongadi wrote: > > > Dear friends, I am interesting with ins
