Elevator & Rudder gap seals

[seastar]

I see there are some gap seals available for the tail.
How about some info on them please.
I could put them on when my repaired tail is returned.

I don't see any gap seals listed in the Parts Catalog. Are they available for the CC?

Yes, they are now available, $200 for experimentals, $250 for the STC's version for Top Cubs or Super Cubs. If you have an SLSA then you will need an LOA, $250 with the LOA. Contact Vera at 509-248-1025. We will have a new web store next year with all this stuff prominently displayed. Right now you have to work to find/buy it, I know.

The gap seals are getting rave reviews from everyone who installs them: stall speeds reduced just a bit, but more noticeable is improved control authority right to the stall.

Hey, great minds think alike :-)

If I remember correctly the material is silicone based, or something similar so it is self lubricating. It adds no noticeable friction to the controls.

Ok, I am in. Just ordered a set.

Does that mean they are not available for the S-LSA models?

[Pete D]

My understanding is that you could put them on a S-LSA if you get a Letter of Authorization, just like you would need for any non-standard items on S-LSAs.

Vera took an order for the gap seals for my E-LSA CarbonCub except she said the price was $200 not $150 as quoted by Randy.
Check for the price of the day before you order.
