Subject: Pietenpol-List: GN-1 Gap SealsBlankSay guys, I bought my 1985 GN-1 some years ago and it was built to plans.That means there are no gap seals on the wings nor the tail. With all this talkabout slightly improved performance, I would like some recommendationsfrom those who have put gap seals on their PIETs or GN-1s after their planeswere built.I feel changing my 69x39 McCauley metal prop on my A-80 and installing gapseals would enhance my plane's overall performance. The plane flies slightlynose high and has a spring trim but does not do much good. I am afraid changing to a lighter wooden 72x42 prop would make the plane fly even more nose high. So I have been hesitate to change anything on theplane but feel changing the prop and filling in the gaps between the wingsand the horizontal stab. would improve performance during the summermonths.As always, the bank of knowledge afforded in this group is greatlyappreciated.Thanks.Mike KingGN-177MKDallasAttachment: http://www.matronics.com/enclosures/5b2 ... __________
