| Subject: | aileron to wing gap seal |
I finished getting the fabric and tapes on both wings, everything is shrunk and
ready to start priming and painting. I'm covering the ailerons right now.
How important is the aileron to wing gap seal? I know the seal between the 2 wing
roots is very critical from another airplane I built but I'm just wondering
about the one on the ailerons. I know there is quite a gap of 3/4" with the piano
hinges (which I don't really care for) so obviously some of the air below
is going to want to go up but is it worth doing? A Firestar with a 447 isn't
a speed demon no matter what I do but I'm curious to hear from those who have
experienced both ways if possible.
I have installed nut plates for #4 bolts and I was hoping to use AN eyebolts like
the CGS Hawk uses for hinges but they are not available anywhere except Spruce
who wants like $16 each.

Jay I was concerned about that on my Firestar so I solved it by running the piano
hing the entire length of the aileron

Where were you when I was restoring my Twinstar? It would have been well
worth ~20 feet of piano hinge to avoid the hassle of making and
installing gap seals.
