There is a VariEZ at GNT right now changing out a cylinder.  Valve seat
came loose.

This guy has VG's, zig-zag tape, trailing edge fences, seam tape and
aileron gap seals, fast wheel pants, etc.....

Anybody flying with aileron gap seals?  Notice a great improvement in
climb and responsiveness?

He's using the zig-zag tap in front of the rudders and says it more than
doubled the effectiveness of them at low speeds.  No noticeable
reduction in cruise.   Said he saw them on Klaus S. EZ.

He also said the trailing edge fences were a dramatic improvement with
no cruise speed penalty.
