Hi Bud
I've always used the bottom on leg swing method but recently (500 hours)
I've noticed two 6" cracks in the paint on the top spar line about 8" out
---From the wing fillet. My inspector is slightly worried and says he will talk
to Andy about it. Have you seen much of it?
Cheers
Rick

Wing Walk area tapes are notorious about looking dirty with any other color
but black. A piece of carpet with a rubber non stick mat sewn on the bottom
works well. The non skid mat is a soft dimpled thin rubber material used by
woodworkers for routing pads or sold in stores for use in kitchen sinks.
Jerry Hope has a carpet piece of carpet about 10 inches wide by 20 inches
long for the wing and an 8x12 for a seat protector when stepping in. Just
brush it off when seated and throw in the back.
As for those nasty cracks in the filler due to flexing near the spar and
wing fillet, only the extra layers of glass support can cure that. In the
future, wings will have the rib numbers increased in this area and skin
stiffed to provide for added stiffness for the not so svelte guys like me.

Hi Karel,
I used to have the original white wing walk tape that came from
Europa, but it got "dirty" looking after a while and no amount of
scrubbing would clean it. Does the clear stuff from ACS hold up any
better ?
