Krusty Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Hi guys!, Any idea how to seal the holes between the elevator in the cannard and the fuselage to avoid wind to entrer there? Best regards, Krusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZUCZZ Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I'm now using a very soft spunge strip, such as used on doorseals, but much softer and larger. it has a selfadhesive strip on one side ... works Ok, but only 3 flights so far.

Hans S Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 There is a soft foam strip you can get for truck toppers also. I comes in different thicknesses. Adhevive backed on one side, not on the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverquit Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Anyone ever thought or tried to use some kind of nylon bushing or grommet sandwiched between two foam pieces or similar? This way it could move in between the foam plates with the off-center rotation of the tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argoldman Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 You can get a piece of dental dam from your dentist, (or teenagers). This is a thin piece of latex in a square approximately 6"X6" you can punch a hole in it, slip it over the rotating tube clamp it to same and glue it to the fuselage. Stops the wind, is flexible and gives very little resistance to deformation. (thus the reference to the availability by teenagers (does not transmit disease) ) Quote I Canardly contain myself!
