That sounds like more than 100" to me,
granted it is more like 585"
so you can either save it for the next use
or find some friends that need some too

Why don't you call Tim and see if he has any partial rolls?

Tim does have a two meter piece.

Someone has offered to share an order, so problem solved.

Eek, 78mm is over 3" wide. That's wicked huge. When I made a set of
Mylar seals that wide, they buzzed off on the first tow.

Thanks, Bob K.

Bob,

Was that on the ruddervators of the your old HP-11?

Just so. After the mylars departed the formation I made another set
out of the traditional beryllium-copper but had a great deal of
trouble applying them. By the time I got them on and sort of straight
they were badly kinked. In action they seemed to add quite a bit of
friction and were scratching the paint on the ruddervator. I stripped
them off before even trying to fly with them.

Thanks, Bob K.

Bob,

I have metal seals on my HP-14. I assume they are beryllium-copper. They
have a couple of kinks that scratch the control surfaces. They need to be
replaced. Any suggestions?

Hi Bob,

I will be able to trim about 1/2" off.

N5724 has 3" mylars on the wings now, and never seemed to have been a
problem.

The old metal seals had the same problems that Wayne is experiencing
on his HP-14.

Regards,

Mike
