Default Leading edge material

Leading edge material

I am looking for something similar to this plasticky stuff which came out circa 1991. Have written to the address a few times now, but seems the former owner is in to something else now.

Anyone know of a substitute for such?

Hmm, I seem to remember a guy was selling these precut leading edges at the Toledo show about 2 years ago. He was also selling an RV-4 kit I think. I was thinking they were machined out of balsa though...

The leading edge material was designed for some STOL aircraft. I had seen a small cut off piece, but not a whole strip. The owner of the piece did not know how things were attached to it, but assumed glued on posts were the item.

Wood would be easier to stick something to. If you can think of anything more on the strip, let me know.
