I have been stripping down the Firestar wings for salvage and scrap.  I have 2 sets of wings, the original clipped wings with a "flashing" leading edge, and I believe the other full length wings are from a KX version.  The original wings had the flashing to eliminate the "starving horse" look.  The KX wings are signed and dated.  I can't read the signature, but they are marked "wing closed 1/21/89", San Angelo, Texas.  The name is "Mark" something, and about 3 other names.  I found that he had used what appears to be electrical tape for an interferance layer between the steel root rib, and the trailing edge.  He also used it on the "H" brace inside the wing main tube.  It seems to have worked nicely, and maintained a snug, cushioned fit.  Has anyone ever heard of this?  Neat trick, no sign of  electrolysis.

   The original wings used a brushed on green primer for this.
