What type of RTV is suggested to use to seal the wing gap on the Legacy?  Does anyone have a good technique to apply it without making a mess of it?

 

Bill,

I used the best clear silicone I could buy at Home Depot for the wing gap on my IV-P. Clean the gap carefully and place strips of electrical tape on both sides of the gap, very close to the edge. Fill the gap and smooth with your wet finger. When the silicone starts to set, carefully remove the tape on each side.

 

This procedure resulted in a near-perfect joint that’s stayed in place for four years now and still looks very good.

 

NOTE: Thanks to Bill Harrelson (N5ZQ) for this tip.

 

Bob
