Glider crow-hops:
Thanks Brad and John.
I should have been more descriptive. I was referring to the mylar gap seals that cover the joint between the aft edge of the wing and the flaperon. The flow fences at the root didn't seem to be a problem, so I have left them on. I just removed the mylar seals, and got much less resistance to the stick movements.
I wanted to make sure it was safe to fly without them for the first flights.. I know they probably help with gliding performance, so I will later probably follow some good advice in a direct email and just install them on the bottom surface.
Thanks again,
Jerry Booker
