Wing leading edge tape on 9A, advice wanted

[carguy614]

Hi all..
Considering installation of wing leading edge tape on my 9A. .008" thick with adhesive, and want to know if anyone has done this on a 9. A search reveals a few posts about installation on 6 and 7's, but wondered if any negatve effects were experienced with the 9's Roncz wing profile. Considering 6" wide tape.

Comments appreciated...

Thanks...Chris

Should not be a problem.

Normally leading edge tape will only adversely affect a laminar airfoil. The RV-9 (or any of the RVs for that matter) does not have a laminar flow airfoil.
