Group,
  
In September as part of a very enjoyable trip to Reno for the National Air
Races, we spent an afternoon at the Truckee Airport.  It so happened they
had a fly in scheduled for that day.  There were a significant number of
aircraft there that day including some who had flown in for the air races.
There were several Lancairs there including a L-IV, which is the reason for
this posting.  I don't recall the N number, but it was a very nice airplane.
It had some interesting aileron and elevator gap seals that appeared to be
made from teflon strips.  Does anyone out there know a source for this
material?  Any data out there on speed/handling improvements with gap seals?
