Sealing hinge gaps...

[Troy Newman]

Yes very important!

It insures that both sides are working the same....Elevators and Ailerons its critical....all trimming is null and void if they are not sealed before you start.

The model will still fly without the gaps sealed..but in my opinion you are wasting your time trimming a model that has surfaces that are not sealed.

Others opinions will vary but I have done it and can tell you from experience its important.

  How important is it to seal the hinge gaps on control surfaces?

  Do you do it to all your planes?

  Can you educate me on this issue?

  Thanks,
