Hi All,

What's the current conventional wisdom on gap sealing the T's symmetric ailerons?

Most of the posts on aileron gap sealing end up focused on the S and others with Frise type ailerons.

I'm currently rigging and tweaking. Pulling the ailerons to gap seal really well wouldn't be that big of a deal.... but is it needed/worth it on the T?

All relative with a Pitts, but:

Better centering? Improved harmony with pitch/yaw? "Different" Break out (less or more)?


Thanks!!
