I wondered if you really needed an STC to stick some tape on your plane.

Acro pilots have been using 3M tape for years without an STC.

Sailplane pilots also.

I might also add that it needs to be properly applied and carefully
preflighted. If the leading edge of the tape on your tailfeathers pops up, it
can cause some really memorable handling problems.
