Sealing Control Surface Gaps (Part II)
Last month, I described the benefits of sealing hinge gaps in all of your control surfaces, with special emphasis on ailerons. In short, sealing the hinge lines will allow your control surfaces will operate more cleanly, precisely, and efficiently - with better control authority at all airspeeds and much higher resistance to flutter. This month, I'll highlight a few methods that you can use to make hinges gap-free!
