Hinge Gaps

Should you seal both sides of the ailerons and elevators or can you just seal one side like the bottom? Also, how about the rudder....any need to seal these?

Thanks in advance.

RE: Hinge Gaps

I seal both sides on my airplanes but it all depends on where the exhaust goes while your in flight.

RE: Hinge Gaps

Seal them all. You only need to seal one side unless the surface will have problems with fuel getting on both sides and debonding the covering.

RE: Hinge Gaps

Sealing is to cover with clear adesive tape or covering material
the gaps between the plane and the control serfaces IE: rudder, elevator, ailerons...

RE: Hinge Gaps

why do i need to seal at all? my hinges are glued. when I was cowering my plane, I cowered ailerons and wings separatelly from all sides and then glued hinges.
