Hi! Steve

You must only use white.

Any colour on upper structural surface will cause a heat build up

threatening the structural strength.

Can't help with official dimensions.

Regards

Bob Harrison

Hi Steve

  

 I have heard that clear w/w tape available from AC Spruce is better than the supplies stuff.

Steve,



One of the nice things about building our own aircraft is that we can 

introduce the small personal touches here and there:



Instead of wing walk tape, which I fear will accumulate dust and dirt over 

time (the purpose is to put your shoes on it, right?) I bought two suitably 

sized pieces of dark blue anti-skid table cloth (like very open knit, made 

of synthetic material) at a boating store, sewed a one inch wide piece of 

red baggage strap to them, with the other end of the strap tied inside the 

luggage bay.  Easy to reach from outside to put in place for entering the 

cockpit, and impossible to forget to take in before take-off because you 

cannot close the door with the red strap hanging over the lower sill.



When parked, the entire white wing shines white.



Best regards,

Svein

Steve, 

 

If it's a tri-gear, you might find it easier to sit on the front of the wing, and enter that way. 

Seems safer than having people stepping over the flaps.

"Transport Canada removing the initial flight restrictions tomorrow, I hope "

 

Hey Dave, congrats!! I'm sure you'll have a blast drilling distant holes in the sky with your beautiful ship.

 

I'm curious how that tape held up on the rudder hinge - did the high pressure on full right rudder blow it off?

 

I'm grinding through my honey-do list to enable me to get back to having fun playing with Europa parts 

 

Cheers,

Pete

Svein,

            Brilliant! I carry some of this material to prevent sliding on 

the passenger shelf, but never thought about it as wingwalk. The temporary 

fitting of it through the door is also bright. The beauty is you can often 

acquire bits at workshop stores which sell it as desktop anti-slider for 

routing etc. Thanks for the idea!

What a nice idea!



I found "Premium

Grip Liner - Multi Purpose

non-slip super-grip liner".

One roll is in my hand just now.



Machine washable.

Non adhesive.

White or black.

The size is 20in X 5ft.

Enough for two wings.

Price just 10 euros or about 15$.

Manufacturer is Henkel Cheshire UK.

Please check Consumer Services

technical.services(at)henkel.co.uk



Regards, Raimo
