The chemical that I am familiar with is called Bromine. There are
others. It is a powder or liquid and I believe the powder is a light

I increased my stub wing 11 inches on each side. My main reasons for
doing this were to increase my flap area and effectiveness and to
increase wing area due to the weight of my engine. I increased the

per plans. I then added

I will pass along a tip that really helped me when I was clamping all
those gusset blocks in place with cheap, simple, and easily installed
clamps. Since the whole idea is to hold the gussets in place until the
epoxy cures and because you are horizontal to begin with you
I apologize if this is insulting to anyone, but just so you don't think
that anything that is made out of fiberglass has to be white the real
determining factor is the resin type that will be used. I believe most
"epoxy" resin systems do need to be painted white but "vinylester" and
"polyester"

so the trailing edge of my trim tab is slanted. I
guess you could say this would produce slightly less drag as there
wouldn't be a "side" force applied from the angled trim tab sides. But
any deflection in a trim tab is going to produce drag so which ever way
is easiest for you will work

You are correct. I reviewed Dan's tape again last weekend and he relates
