This is from "Cessna Wings for the World", by William D. Thompson,
regarding the C-177:

==================================snip========== =============
The pitch-down motion in flaps-down sideslips was a more serious
problem, however. Production test pilots became aware of a more
noticeable waviness in some of the leading-edges of the wing, and
occasionally, a 2-foot length of paint overspray that caused wing-
dropping tendencies at the stall. This had to be corrected by
applying body filler material on the leading-edge or rubbing compound
to remove the almost invisible overspray.



I~mpossible. how could a bit of paint cause a los of lift when th ewing
shape is only htere for streamlining?
