> Aileron gap seals are very simple to make. You simplg get some
Dan, I was thinking of a gap seal for the aileron. For my latest project I
made a test set of Hor. Stab and elevator, using a piano hinges on the top
surface...which is a flat plane. I did the tapering, 1 7/8 to 5/8 on the
underside. The elevator spar is beveled to allow 25 degrees down play. I
Good luck, I have never received anything from Harbor Freight that worked
very well.

Send it on buddy. I agree to the posting costs. Also, my wife and I will be
traveling by car next month thru the Carolinas which is why I mentioned your
VW engine If you still have it then and it's affordable I will stop by and
make the purchase.

If you are changing over from VW to Corvair, I am interested in buying your VW.
(Dan, are you still out there?) That will be for project 1. If you have a
corvair and have abandoned your project I will buy the corvair for project 2. I
have 3 projects going in my shop so am always in need.
