Ok some of you may have read my thread “Newbie Question”. In there I discussed how to increase the throw of the rudder, and ailerons.

The hinge gaps for the ailerons are significantly larger than those on my elevator (which has really good authority).

Before I modify the travel for the ailerons I wanted to test sealing the hinge gap.
Yup, that's the proper first thing to do under the circumstances.
