Chaffing

May seem like a dumb question, but has anyone had a problem with the close-out panels around the stabilizer and elevator rubbing adversly on the fabric? On my SS7 I have rolled the edges of my panels slightly so they seal well at the joint with the fabric, but think they might also be a wear point. Any thoughts or past experiences in this area?

Thanks,

I rolled my edges slightly also but not enough to deform the fabric, I have too few hours to know if it will lead to increased chaffing. I can say I am not too worried about it as at last inspection (50 hour) it is not even marring the paint much.

Good afternoon,

This is something you might expect form someone from "Minnesnowta" Hockey stick tape (HST) comes in black and white (at least around here) - In certain places where the aluminum lapped over the fabric I rolled on a strip of HST on fabric side of the lap so it does not stick out very far under the aluminum panel - about all a person wears out with this is HST - the stuff is cloth with sticky on one side & has a cloth/grainy exterior - sort of like what we once called "Friction tape"
