Scott's Tip:

Sealing hinge gaps is a discussion item that will draw as many unique responses as

there are people. Some claim wild performance increases, while others consider the task

unnecessary. With my full-scale experience to lean on, I think sealing the gaps is time well

spent. On the Sukhoi, we saw measurable performance increases in the form of increased

control surface effectiveness and a more solid feel by sealing the areas around the hinge

points with, believe it or not, foam. Similar results can be achieved by sealing the hinges on

yourYak – a process that takes no more than 30 minutes to complete.

From my perspective, the control most in need of a sealed hinge gap is the elevator.

In any case, I recommend sealing all three control surfaces gaps. There are two basic

materials that are commonly used to seal hinge gaps on model airplanes – tape and clear

covering. I prefer Blenderm clear tape as it sticks extremely well and doesn't make a

crinkling sound when moved in the hinge. If you choose to use clear covering, make sure it

is a low temperature covering to match the stock film.

I generally apply the tape to the surface in short 6-8 inch sections to make the

application more precise and easier to control. For purely aesthetic reasons, I apply it to the

bottom of each hinge surface to hide the tape when viewed from above. While mostly clear,

Blenderm isn't fully transparent. Go slowly and you'll be rewarded with a clean

professional looking installation. Finally, be sure to fully flex the surface away from the

tape during application to ensure a full range of motion.
