Good Morning All,

posting some stuff from my earlier days.
I started flying in 1983. My father owned a tree nursery in Fo ...

I remember when flying in the 80's and 90's they said at Kolb not to fly it without the gap seal. Apparently it does make a difference. Has anyone tried it? What was the resulting effect?
