Default Wing Tape - Does Thickness Affect Performance?

The really strange thing about it is that here in Scotland
at this
time of year, wave flying is often so cold that I would
have thought
taking a pee was almost impossible. Firstly there
is the nice warm
flying suit that needs unzipping. Then the cold air
hits the
equipment which promptly shrinks back to the warmth
of the body.
Fumbled manual attempts to retrieve the situation merely
cool the
instrument further until whatever it's normal state
it resembles
something not much larger than a dimple. Well that's
what I imagine
happening, but then I don't have said instrument.


There are all sorts of implants available on the market
if you are interested.
