A question for those that have built any of the Herr kits that call for Nylon tape to re-enforce the wing joint. Sig doesn't give any real info about the tape referenced in the kit. When I asked they gave me a part number to sell. Is it just Nylon strapping tape that is glued to the wing, or is it something special that is wetted out like fiberglass? If it is strapping tape I am just going to purchase a role from the local hardware store, otherwise I will have to figure something else out. The idea of just glue holding the two wing halves together I must admit is a bit scary to me. I have read others doing it and using epoxy but I must make the safe assumption that they are more experienced builders/fliers and may not be as hard on their plane as me.
