Hello all,
In lieu of immediately painting my leading edges (again), I believe I'm
looking for whatever the best solution is for leading edge tape as a
temp fix. For those of you who are using the tape: what is working; are
there any pitfalls in applying the tape; or any other words of wisdom? I
repainted my leading edges about 6 months ago but what I used simply
doesn't stand up to the rain I've been flying through. Also- I'm using the MT propeller with the rubber leading edge boot on
the blades. That boot is also deteriorating/pitting with flying in
inclement weather. I called an authorized MT repair facility. They
told me I could fill in pits with black RTV sealant as an interim fix,
rather than having the boots stripped off and reapplied, which would
essentially require the entire propeller to be re-finished. Are any of
you using any kind of tape on the propeller to give it some protection?
Thanks for any help on the leading edge tape. I'll figure out my paint
problems at a later date.
Respectfully,
Jim.
