Subject: | aileron gap seal: when? |
For you Twinstar builders/restorers, how/when do you install gap seals?
My 1st gen plans say to install the seals before installing the hinges. I'm
planning on using the latex finishing method, and I've used the Stewart
water based glue for covering. Do you pre-shrink the gap seal fabric and
glue it on after the rest of the finish work (final paint), then repaint
after attaching the gap seal?
Thanks,
Charlie

Haven't covered a wing in 17 years, so if I am wrong someone will
promptly correct me please. ;-)
After you shoot the last coat of Polybrush (sealer), the gap seal is
cemented to wing and aileron. I think I used 3" finishing tape and it
is not shrunk.
Use a small needle soldering iron to burn out the rivet holes.
Hinges are riveted after finish painting.

It must be acceptable; all of them do.

Forgiving is tough. Being forgiven is wonderful.

Hi John,
Thanks for the info. Your description is how I'm reading the plans. But
I'm not sure how to manage a 12' aileron (flaperon) and a 15' wing when
I'll need to flip the assembly numerous times while applying multiple
finish coats, and keep the two components aligned well enough to avoid
peeling off the gap seal from at least one side.

Very gently....
Shoot one side and roll the wing and aileron over, being careful of
course.
Poly-tak cement is very tenacious. I never had a problem with
separation during processing and finishing.

I always tried to blow them out with compressed air. Then use some
adhesive tape to seal the ends. If the drill chips and mandrel ends get
out of the tubes, they end up under the edge of the fabric and leading
and trailing edges, eventually putting holes in the fabric.
