New Coating

Pik 20 drivers will keep this companies stock price high Why????? Beading of water on the PIK20 wing profile (same as a SGS-1-35 IIRC) is the same. ANY contamination kills the performance. Best bet on this profile is: -600 grit sanding @ ~45* to airflow -Wipe from spar forward with liquid dish soap so the water sheets, NOT beads Finer sanding, wax, etc. all are "death" to wing performance. Anything like the product in this thread, RainEx, wax, etc. all make liquids bead. While some of these will shed most of the water, the rest will make a glass ship about like a 1-26 in glide (and before the 1-26 drivers jump on me, I'm part owner of 002......and have quite a few hours in it.)
