Does anyone know of a protective tape that I can put on the top edges of the side rails of my Firestar? As I work on the plane, the tops of the side rails get all beat-up and dirty. Maybe the tape will help.



Thanks in advance,

You can buy leading edge tape from Spruce I am sure in most sizes. It is rubber based, and really tough. I however took a thin piece of alum. beat it into a U over a like sized rod, placed it over the tubing and used a hammer to finish the bends around the rod.Larry

I used PVC tubing from Home Depot.  Split it down the middle with a band saw then riveted it to the top of the tubes.  Very light and has worked great so far.

All of these suggestions are good...but for simplicity and long lasting 

and cheap..the book binding tape stays put...but will show the dirt on 

the fabric !
