Wow! I wish you guys would have posted this a year ago......i agonized over getting
that joint right and build in some dihedral. spend hours marking finite angles
and filing the center section spars to keep the joint tight......next time
the wings come off, i'm going to take some more off cause i would like a smidge
more dihedral, but i wont be so precise.

OK I am looking at doing aeleron and Empennage gap seals.
The idea I like best is using flexible plastic strips like PTFE (Teflon) or
HDPE (though it has poor UV resistance)

OOPS hit send too early.
I am looking at PTFE strips to do the gap seals with adhesive tape. the
wings and tail are covered and will not be recovered. There is historical
evidence of 100MPH tape on the plane. Any special tips. (yes I have looked
at the list archives and at some photos and searched the net.)

Happily I am at the covering/priming stage on the Air Camper. Before covering
the fuselage I am dealing with a few details and one is assuring I have control
stops. A search of the archives gave me plenty of ideas on the ailerons (thighs
seem to work well) and ruder. Not so much on the elevator. So, I would
like to hear from anyone regarding their solution. I am thinking I will weld
to the torque tube some configuration fore and at of the pilot's stick. I just
don't know what, exactly, and perhaps there is something simpler.
I am attaching a pic of my fuse. assy. as it appeared when I presented a program
my EAA chapter a couple weeks ago. Gettin' there!!

Simplest control stop is a metal bar with a slit in it. One end attaches to
the stick and one end attaches to the pulley under the seat.

That's good news, Robert! I hope to someday sit in that nice, comfy seat you
built!
You should get some good advice on stops, but, to be honest, I have no stops
on any controls! The stick hits my knees before bottoming out...the rudder
pedals only have so much travel...and the elevator the same.
