Piper 32-300 w/ black leading edges
Hi,
I am flying a Cherokee six in Mozambique, you know how hot it gets here. We bought a Cherokee six with black painted leading edges. For some reason, I am not sure if this is THE factor, but this Cherokee six has less performance than the other ones we have. I am not sure if the black painted leading edges might contribute to the performance degradation we have been noticing. When we are on the ground and the sun is hitting the wing, you simply cannot hold your hand more than 5 seconds on the black stripe, it’s burning hot. Do you think it might influence the wings aerodynamic flow?
