If you used the fabric method of installing the gap seal, did you put the aileron on the wing and install the gap seal prior to paining? If you paint first (meaning if you paint the ailerons and wings before final assembly, how do you get the fabric gap seal in place and painted to match? I am seriously considering just painting mine prior to assembly as the paint scheme will allow for easy alignment of the paint lines. Then just using the book binding tape for the gap seal. I am open to any tales of woe or success using either method of gap seal. Thanks, Stuart Still dreaming about the far off day when I may actually get to paint my Firefly. ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 11:04:38 AM PST US From: "Stuart Harner" Subject: Kolb-List: wing painting question For those of you who carried your paint scheme from the wings onto the ailerons, did you assemble the wing and aileron before you painted or after? If you painted them separately, what kind of steps did you take to make sure the paint lined up from surface to surface? If you assembled them before painting, how did you mask everything off to assure no overspray? Thanks, Stuart Still working on tail feathers. Sheesh, that is time consuming, and discouraging. ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 01:23:01 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: aileron gap seal From: "t41pilot" just started my 3rd season using the book binding tape. No deterioration showing up yet. My plane is hangared though. The tape is cheap and easy to install. As far as carrying your paint trim from wing through your ailerons, paint your base color first on both items. Then after the required drying time temporarily attach the hinges to the wing or the aileron using a few sheet metal screws. Your holes should have been drilled already at this point. Attach the aileron to the wing across some horses or other suitable surface large enough to accommodate the width of both making sure not to damage your base coat of paint. Lay out your trim tape as necessary with the aileron in a neutral position. Flip assembly over(with some help) and trim the other side if necessary. Disassemble, finish masking with paper and paint wing and aileron separately. It's not difficult but is time consuming. Polytone paint is very forgiving. Paint your parts horizontally as much as possible and the paint will nicely lay out if you have your gun set right. I had never painted anything ever before and I was very satisfied with the result when I was done. If you are using Polytone, just follow the book and everything will be fine. -------- Gregg Kaat 2011 Firefly Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=423316#423316 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/firefly_color_136.jpg ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 01:33:28 PM PST US From: WhiskeyVictor36@aol.com Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Re: aileron gap seal In a message dated 5/15/2014 4:23:05 P.M.
