I have been flying for 2 years with unfaired leading edge tape on all 
of my leading edge surfaces. At altitude I can fly at 65 mph with 35 
degrees of flaps but the plane still doesn't feel stable below 100 
mph on final.

Are there any opinions as to instability caused by leading edge tape 
on the LNC2?
