This should be qualified. The RAF48 airfoil is a turbulent airfoil. The edge of the tape will basically have no detrimental affect on the airflow over the wing. However, the AS504x series airfoils have extensive laminar flow and I would be worried about the tape edge tripping the laminar flow. Steve Eberhart
