I am trying to decide if I should put wing walk on a 235 I am just completing.
At Oshkosh and Sun-N-Fun about 50% of the Lancairs have wing walk and 50% not. The wing walk keeps the paint from being scratched up and saves having to carry a towel on which you may slip. Does it have a down side with regard to loss of lift and perhaps loss of speed or performance?
Aircraft Spruce has a nice looking material which is made be MAC and comes in 26.5" x 9.5" strips. Is this a good choice?
