Effective on Most Landing Surfaces

The "SD-6" Landing Skid was designed to maximize landing points on competitive open class thermal duration sailplanes. The one piece hooked tooth design is effective on most landing surfaces and provides excellent protection from landing damage. The pliable"SD-6" conforms to the nose radius of most sailplanes and can be easily attached at the flying field. If you use a CF or phenolic tooth, keep an SD-6 in your flying box as an emergency replacement. Use on nosecones was the prime design consideration however the SD-6 can be attached to just about any sailplane. The "SD-6" has excellent stopping power when used alone or maximum stopping power when used with a skeg. The "SD-6" is injection molded of Tough polyethylene unlike carbon fiber or phenolic that can shatter leaving dangerous sharp edges.

Instructions
Place on bottom side of the pointy end and wrap with tape :)
The choice of tape is a personal preference. 3/4" Clear vinyl tape looks the best but may not be the strongest so use a couple of layers. There are a lot of super strong tapes available so do some experiments and let me know what works best.
I set up a test sled and simulated hundreds of landings and the only problem was wear on the front band of tape. So it's a good idea to check the tape frequently for cuts and re-wrap if necessary.
