Default RE: Chip Hyde's Cap-X - Building & Flying

I sealed my hinge gaps with clear ultracote strips. I seal gaps on everything I fly. It is so easy and there's no downside, only positives. I do not do it mitigate flutter, but to make the flight surfaces more effective, thus requiring less surface movement to produce the same reaction. I feel like it helps the plane feel lighter on the sticks and generally fly better.
