Hi Guys, Thanks for the input on the aileron gap seals.
Many of the gap seals on KR?s I?ve seen on the web we made of a 10mil mylar. A few mentioned that they get sucked into the gap making control difficult, and most with the RAF 48 airfoil don?t see improved performance. Could it be that a overly flexible gap seal, sucked into the gap, would also stick up beyond the gap creating a mini spoiler - negating any drag reduction of gap sealing? Anyways, my question today is about tail wheel springs. If I?m lucky my plane will look a bit like Pete Brautigam?s, and he has a very nice looking tail wheel spring set up. Most of the KR?s I see pictures of do not have tail wheel connect springs, which seems quite unusual. Clearly it must be ok. Is it? Cheers, Owen Hughes
