I noticed various places being used and am curious as to how others have solved this. During flight testing mine was on the turtledeck former but after painting it went here:




Where did you put yours? Any really unique ideas out there?

Dale,
Wing walk material is Ray Allen brand (WWK-1 ... WING WALK MATERIAL).
I had to graft 2 pieces together per side (I have swing back canopy) to get the angle right.
I cut the letters out after outlining with a stencil.
Took a while but I’m happy with the results.

Hi Mike,

I didn't notice the seam until you pointed it out. I did notice that you followed the plans with your wing walk aluminum on top of the leading edge skin. I actually tucked mine under the leading edge skin as I figured the the drag reduction might gain me another 00.02 knot of airspeed ... 8~)
