It has blistered twice now under the right wing ahead of the flap and caused a hi freq. We soon remove it and fly without. I ordered the Piper style Tee bulb moulding and am struggling to get it installed. It seems to big and I must cut the bulb alot in order to pass over the spars, etc. I have seen a slightly smaller Tee bulb extrusion used on another IV-P but never got to speak with the owner about it. I am not yet up to paint and don't want to use silicone RTV just yet... or at all if there is a better solution. Do any of you guys who have been flying for a while know of a solution or know of a Tee bulb extrusion suitable for our machines? Thanks in advance, Walter Dodson IV-P in testing wdodson@bak.rr.com
