Derek, here you go.  I'm not sure my e-mail is working properly to the K 
factor.

When building an pattern airplane, it is very important to seal the 
ailerons.  Sometimes there is a small gap between the ailerons and the wing. 
If the gap on one side is greater than the other side, it could have adverse 
trim characteristics during looping maneuvers.  Here is an easy technique 
for sealing control surfaces. Cut piece of clear covering strip from the 
roll- 1 inch wide at one end, 3/4 inch at the other end. I fold the piece of 
covering in half then tuck it into the aileron.  Then use an iron to seal 
the strip starting at the base of the aileron. Clear covering folds very 
well, almost like paper, so one can get a nice straight line and tuck it in 
without a lot of wrinkles. It looks nicer too. Trim the excess from the tip 
of the ailerons.
