Here is how I did it.

I removed the control wire from the control horn of the control surface. I cleaned the plane with denatured alcohol. I then moved the control surface to it's maximum deflection (for ailerons I wanted to tape the bottom so I moved them to there upmost position. I applied the tape to the wing edge first, then using my fingernail I pressed the tape into the hinge gap of the wing edge. Then with my fingernail I pressed the tape into the hinge gap of the aileron edge. I then pressed the tape down onto the aileron surface. I moved the aileron back and forth to identify any obstructions. The clear duct tape is very strong an the color of the plane comes right thru it.


Note: In regard to sealing the ailerons, I also sealed the rudder and the elevator. I think somebody mentioned that I said "after sealing the ailerons I got a "vertical" take off". I assure you, it was sealing the elevator that gave such drastic climb rates. The aileron sealing game me a dramatic improvement in roll rate. My trainer has a 74 inche wing span. It used to roll like a square wheel, but now it rolls like a polished ball bearing. Please take into consideration my experience of only 5 months, this is the only plane I have flown and I can not compare it to anything else.

My main point was that sealing the gaps greatly improved the capabilities of my trainer, and it appears that the new clear duct tape works great for sealing the gaps.
