Discus Aileron Seals
In Richard Johnson's flight test of the original Discus he replaces the
mylar seals with internal fabric seals & gets a noticeable improvement in performance. The mylar on my Discus CS is 20years old & starting to lift in places, so I will need to replace it. Has anyone out there done the internal seal mod? Did you think there was any advantage Can I have both internal & mylar seals? The pushrod holes for Aileron & Airbrake are sealed with rubber bellows. These are also 20 yrs old. Anyone know of a way to test whether these are perished, no longer sealing? Many thanks PF
