Hi Guys,
My strakes came today so I did a test. It was rough at 3000' so I could not
see much difference in the stall speed but did find that the shutter/ shake
was almost gone, just very little tail shutter. Also on the only full
stall landing I did there was no shutter at all. If you make 3 point
landings and full stall landings I think you know what I mean by shutter.
Maybe Cappy's Toy is worse than other 8's but I don't think so. Anyway it
seems almost gone.
I taped them in place with double sided tape from Home Depot and the Bowen
duck tape method on the edge along the fuselage. This worked fine and was
100% in place after the landing and easy to remove. More to follow when I
find some smooth air. If anyone wants to try them out just let me know, I
probably won't install them till after the Fuel Tank Bulletin is complied
with.

Quack. Didn't know I had a method! I'd like to see your installation.

I was referring to the way you taped your rudder tab on. I will take a picture tomorrow.

As soon as I'm through testing you can try them Reno.
