    Gap seals have been working awesome. Shortens takeoff distance and landing distance because you have more tail. Also lowers stall speed power off....kind of. Power off it enables you to get closer to the stall because you have more tail power off versus the buffeting and nose lowering before the stall. After about 100 hours no visible wear on the fabric. I have had them in 0F to 80F and seem to be working good! I have had frost and frozen dew with no issues with them freezing up. Not saying they cant freeze, but so far so good. Pushed them out to check wear on the fabric.






    Getting night current on new landing spot we found.

    Dustin, are these the Cubcrafters gap seals? If so, have you done hard slips and do they stay in? Mine didn't.

    Dustin, did you post the STL files for your gap seals on Thingiverse?

    Yes! Search for "Garage door seals." I don't want the "liability" or I would be willing to print some for others. One concern I have printing my design is clearance. I only have one layer of oratex they are going over? It took me a dozen versions to get the spacing right and design right.
