I am do not know about the tape, but a 6"-7" pee tube could generate
about .2 lb of drag at 85 kt, hence a one day contest base on a 1000
points, all else being equal, could reduce the points count by 12-15
points.
.... not to mention the significant loss of wing loading due to the
weight that goes overboard through the pee tube...
