They consist of the curved mylar strips, a double-sticky tape for putting them on, and another tape layer over the leading edge. The majority of the seals I applied departed the aircraft in the first flight or two! Seems the glider stickum isn't up to the airspeeds of the Legacy. And no, I didn't notice any difference in control forces with or without them present. [They stayed put on an earlier ES that I built.] Jim Cameron Legacy N132X Boerne Stage Airfield, TX
