Daniel is IMO the master of 1-26 sealing. At Moriarty he had about 3 miles of tape on the thing. I copied his strategy when I flew 482 at Caesar Creek and was very happy with the improvement in noise and low speed performance.


It is a good idea to put a layer of tape down on the painted surfaces that will not get removed when you replace seal tapes. This will go a long way toward not peeling up or otherwise damaging the paint on the glider.
Messing up the club glider will not make you popular.
Good Luck
