The factory used the plastic report cover strips you mentioned above, but I
couldn't see how to avoid the plastic add on look so I opted for the
triangular balsa method. This was really easy to do and could be blended in
just nicely with the rest of the tab, only taking a couple of hours of work
to make a really good looking finish, which was just as well, because I
forgot to do it until after the plane was sprayed. I did the job two weeks
ago and the resprayed tabs look just fine.

inspections this week (and a club newsletter to get out!!!).
