Sportys: Eliminate Hangar Rash with Protective Foam

You can always tell the guy who has just walked into the trailing edge of a Skyhawk by the ugly cross-hatched bruise (or worse...) that appears across his forehead.

Believe me, it smarts...

But Sportys' "Uncle Hal" Shevers has a quick and inexpensive solution for such embarrassments (not to mention the cost of the obligatory stitches...) that not only protects your noggin, but that expensive trailing edge of your favorite aircraft, as well. Both hangar maladies, the much suffered "hangar rash," and the occasional bruised forehead, can be all but eliminated with a simple new product from Sporty’s.

Protective Foam for Trailing Edges (Sportys ID#: 6502A) easily slides onto the trailing edges of flaps, ailerons, elevators or rudders for a measure of added protection. The Protective Foam for Trailing Edges is particularly helpful when stacking a tight hangar. The Protective Foam comes in three-foot long sections and is bright red as an added reminder to remove before flight. The sections can be easily cut into smaller pieces.
