In Response To: stripping around cockpit (elliott)

I will sometimes end up strapping down some of the strips near the front of the cockpit to make the strips working down from the centerline meet the strips coming up from the sheerline. It usually doesn't take much force. They are willing to do it, but need tobe shown the way.
