I didn't want to spoil the finish of the painted wing so I have a strip
of lightweight rubber matting for those who wish to walk onto the wing.
This is then rolled up and stored in one of the headrests. This only
gets used for guest passengers as we enter the aircraft by sitting on
the leading edge and then swinging our legs straight into the footwells.
This requires a little more agility but is easy once mastered.

Subject: Europa-List: Wing Walk Tape
Hey Fellow Europa Folks,
Hope all are flying or building well. Question: for you that have put
wing walk on, how wide a path is best up the wing? ACS sell some that is
clear and is 16" x 30" and another variety that comes in 6" or 12" wide,
sold by the lineal foot. I was thinking of buying one of the 16" x 30"
and splitting it down the middle to do both wings. I think the clear or
translucent would be preferable to white or black. White would most
likely not be the matching shade to the white on the plane and black
would cook the wing. Thoughts?
