My original Firestar was built with a solid leading edge. The builder used 12' wide thin aluminum, maybe flashing, over the Kolb ribs. This was used on the plane up to January, 2008 when it was flipped over during a storm- tie down broke. My replacement wings have the standard Kolb "starving horse" design. I inquired to the List about it, and was told that it makes no noticeable difference in performance. The solid edge was tried about the middle to late 1980's. If I remember the responses correctly, it was used more for appearances.

Hi Bill,
That's the first time I've heard of Homers wing looking like a "starved horse", but it's a great analogy. hehehe
