HI, Don!

 

I have looked for you a couple of times when I was on the East side but didn’t see you.

 

Sorry I am so late answering your offer to help.  I have been working on my taxes and didn’t really know when that problem would get resolved.   They are done now and I will get some tape and caulk and be at the airport tomorrow.  If you are around you are certainly invited to help!

 

I don’t know if you can get in on the SW side, but if you need me to meet you at the gate you can call me at:

386-473-6535

And I will meet you.  I am in hangar 92 now.  That is the NW most hangar on the SW side.

 

Bill

Bill,

 

I used bathtub calk sealant (white) on my Lancair 320.  It works really well.  You need to mask off either edge of the seam with painters tape.  Remove the tape before the calking has a chance to dry.  The calk will discolor with dirt somewhat as the months go by.  I now also use a layer of sailplane white anti-peel tape over the top of the calk after it dries although it peels off at the leading edge after a while though its easily replaced.  I can come over this weekend and help you if you like.

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?
