Dear List,



I have lost my stall strips over the last 12 years of building.  I seem to remember that the factory version was a five sided deal with about a 1/2 in base.



I see GA aircraft with just a 90 deg triangle on the Leading Edge.

Does the profile of the stall strip matter that much?

Thanks

Will

Bud thanks

Can anyone tell me the Spruce definition of "glider tape"?  I am guessing that this is also used for sealing the tailplane pin holes.

Thanks

Will, 

They are just an angle of about 3/8 inch.  See your Operators manual Page 9-5.  To my knowledge the material was never supplied by Europa. 

Personally I use aluminum angle rather than fabricating a wood piece with a 90 degree face and concave back.  Simply put tape on the leading edge and then set  the angle on the tape, tape over it in place and go fly.  If the angle is right, and it does what you want, carefully remove some of the tape, mark it and then transfer the marks to the wing and glue it on.  I use glider tape.  I’m lazy so I drill two holes  right through the 90 degree angle when on the bench and tape it on to test.  Then when it is positioned properly, I drill into the wing through the holes in the end.  Pull the tape, use the holes to align, fill the back of the angle with flox and cleco or  tape on the strip.  Fill sand prime paint.  You may want to angle the ends of the angle for less filling. 

  

Fletner strips are 10 mm or 3/8 inch at the trailing edge when installed but the strips come as wood wedges about 25mm by 5 mm taped together, if that what  you are thinking of rather than stall strips. 

  

Regards, 

Bud Yerly

Got to do the Google. 

  

Bowlus is who I get it through.  See Cumulus Soaring or similar.  Spruce has clear gap seal tape.  3M makes a PVC tape others are vinyl or polyurethane.  I  like the white two inch Bowlus tape.  This tape stretches and conforms better.  You can use packing tape, but the glue is nasty, and it doesn’t conform to curves well.
