I'm looking for suggestions for taping the hinge side gap of a Grob. I
typically un-tape for the annual inspection of condition, clean, then re-tape. There is very little movement at the hinge. In the past, I used Tesa brand Tissu tape that Wings and Wheels sells (about 2/3 of the way down this page) http://www.wingsandwheels.com/page28.htm I have used Blenderm tape as well, but haven't found any solvent that will remove the adhesive residue from the Blenderm. I'm still trying to get it off one of the club ships! Any suggestions for a different tape, or a solvent that will remove the Blenderm adhesive residue? I've tried the usual: 3M General Adhesive cleaner, Goo Gone, Goof Off, Xylene, Naptha. |

I've been using Dacron Sail repair tape for many years on the Nimbus tip Spoilers and the Hinge line on Landing Gear doors. I've never had any problem cleaning off the residue. Great Stuff.

That looks great! I'm going to try some. I like that they sell a small quantity. Fifteen feet will do my (enormous!) horizontal stab to elevetor joint, and my vertical to rudder, with just a little leftover. Three inches is a bit wide, but I should be able to make a splitter to get two 1 1/2" wide rolls out of it. |
