Hello Dico:

As I recall, I ordered the strakes directly from Mike Custard about 10 years ago. They were the cheapest option I had ever purchased for my plane (less than $ 300) and also the easiest to install.

I had just started the painting process on my plane, when I heard about the strakes, so I stopped painting and waited for the strakes to arrive. As I recall, it took about 2 days to install, start to paint.

I have some photos of the installation process, if you would like to see them. I don't have Mikes

address or contact info, but Im sure the folks at lancair might. As you can tell, I am a real advocate

of his product.

Keep up the photography.

Regards, Bill Hogarty

Hi Bill,

I went back and watched that first video. I guess what you're seeing is that the tail is to the left a bit.... such that I would apply left rudder to straighten it out?

I'm sure that the ball is centered which then makes me wonder if there is an issue. We always run quite a bit slower than what other IVP pilots claim that their planes run, so perhaps this could be a reason.

Do you have a link to these "Strakes"?
