Charles,
I had leading edge tape on all of my leading edges for about 1.5 years. I didn't notice any difference in flying. Some planes, I hear, like the VeriEasys , are effected significantly by leading edge protrusions. I don't believe that our LNC2s are effected at all.
I took the tape off about 3 years ago and have not had any leading edge damage since then. I also did not notice any flying difference.

We're in the process of designing a paint scheme for our plane. I know there were discussions about the very bad effects of paint stripe/steps on the leading edge of the wings -- the upshot being don't do it! But then this brought to mind the question, "What effect do stripes have on the leading edge of the vertical stabilizer?" More induced drag, or ...? Thanks,
