[NSRCA-discussion] Hinge Seals

[Del K. Rykert]

Hi Jay..
    Many people use self stick tape and do from under side. I don't like the dirt that collects against the tape. I have always stuck with the color of monocote used on the flight surface and cut small strip and seal from underneath. It assure you get more balanced and positive control from your flight surfaces. Often result in needing less thro to get the similar results b-4 the sealing job.

  I have a new ARF that says to seal the control surface gaps with hinge sealing tape.

  What is "hinge sealing tape"? (I have some foamie hinge tape - is this OK?)

  What is the technique for doing this? Do you seal both sides?

  Is it necessary?
