[NSRCA-discussion] Hinge Seals

[Bob Kane]

I use Monokote, I cut a strip to fit, fold it adhesive side out, then iron it in with a trim iron. I hit all the edges with trim solvent to keep it nailed down. You only need to do one side, but both sides looks cleaner.  It increases control authority by preventing air from leaking through the gap.

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Hinge Seals


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?
