Hello,

I added zig zag tape to the rudder of my RF5B. So far I am happy. The rudder fills more in positive slow flight and turn stalls. I am hoping it will help the crosswind componect.

I purchased from Wing and Wheels. 60 degree x 12mm x .5mm https://wingsandwheels.com/tapes-seals/turbulator-dimple-tape.html

Very tidy Collin. I doesn't look as if it would have much of an effect but I have often been surprised and delighted at the difference small changes can make to our elegant and subtle machines.
