IIRC that tape bulging caused aileron flutter, but not other problems. Regardless, the tape should have been replaced with mylar on all 20's. Hank??? Flutter was associated with seal tapes. Flaps fluttered more than ailerons if I remember correctly. Mylar is a good improvement and was standard on B and C. Flaps on A go down far enough to be tough on Mylar on bottom when in full landing flap. UH
