The ASK 21 sailplane has a max speed (where this tape would have most effect) of 175mph (if you can find minimums, that'd be great) and is a streamlined body to begin with. Maybe the lower pressure offsets the velocity discrepancy - I'll have to do a quick calc a bit later
I don't know if it's what you meant by minimum, Trebuchet03, but the Wiki lists the "nominal" stall speed as a little over 40 mph.

Gliders are cool.
