Tim,

I took an old inner-tube and cut 3" diameter circles out of it. Then I =20=

cut a line from the outside of the circle to the center. Finally I cut =20=

a 1" hole in the center. I glued the circles to the fuselage, around =20
the flap and ailerons push rods.

My goal was to stop air from coming in in the winter in the Detroit =20
area. It worked. I now have no air leaks in the cockpit.
