I bought a second hand hotliner and it had this rough and tough tape on the fuse's belly to protect the gelcoat on landings. Whats it called and who offers it? It kind of looks like skateboard covering but its white.

Also. You might consider cutting a peice of plastic from a milk jug or 2 liter soda bottle and affix it with 3m 77, or contact cement..

Dubro USED to make a landing skid that was about 1/4 inch thick and about 12 inches long but I haven't seen one in a long time. I'd like to get a hold of some of them again myself. All the bellies on my gliders are bare and I'm going to be moving out to Arizona where the ground is rough enough to take monokote off after a landing or two.

I'm from AZ, where I fly is a rolled dirt runway. Last time I tried using electrical tape, it works well but isnt a permanent solution.

Associated has their chassis protector sheeting, thick almost indestructable stick on, perfect.

I use the metal duct tape from Home depot. Don't get the regular cloth duct tape.The metal tape is very sturdy and the glue sticks very well

Skate board grip tape works very well and comes in a variety of colors and is not expensive....

Check out anti-slip material for boats. Most any boat supply or Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops carry it and just cut it to the size you want. The material comes in white and black and is self stick. Another option is to tape off the area where you want the "skid plate"; brush on a thin even layer of epoxy and coat it with washed coarse sand.
