Our club (SLSA) just acquired a nice "pre-owned" ASK-21. It doesn't
have any external seals (tape) on the ailerons and elevator. Is this
worth doing, like on the G-103?

I am pretty sure that these seals are *mandatory* on the ASK-21 -
please check the maintenance manual.


Also, do any ASK-21 operators remove the main gear fairing when
operation off grass? Bit of an argument developing in the club about
this... ;^)

Keep the main gear fairing on - always remember that the 21 is
designed to be operated on grass runways.

Besides, it covers and protects the brake assembly.
