I have 950TT on my IV and had to repaint
the leading edges twice. In fact I have 2 Vr- one for rotation on takeoff and
one for in-flight rain- I slow to 160 KIAS for any significant rain. The purpose
of this post is that I am wondering if the tape slows the airplane down and if I
wanted to put it on for the first time how do I align the tape? I thought
about using a laser but the wing washout may work against that. Any
suggestions would be appreciated.

Leading edge tape is a great and cost-effective way to keep those
expensively painted wings from needing repainting for a long time.
