NACA scoop - cracked perimeter rubber seal

Post by scottrsellers »

Even though our oil analysis silica levels are low, indicating no significant foreign particulate matter we found our perimeter seal to be aged and cracked. Will replace it with the same 1/2" thick foam rubber material we sourced from McMaster Carr(see photos below) we used in the gear leg wells and attach with contact adhesive.
