| - | These are the sections to close on the fuselage. | ||

| - | ==== Closing holes ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | The so glued model had some holes to fill / close. I used thin plexi-glas. Best way to glue them was hot glue, as it can also fill little holes or irregularities in thickness. | ||

| - | |||
| - | I used the same technique also on other parts. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Sealing connections and small holes ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Using a good tape can close all kind of connections and other small or thin holes. I used "3m Blenderm" - a waterproof and flexible tape: | ||

| - | One other option is hot glue - as in this example: | ||

| - | 1. Make the housing waterproof | ||
| - | |||
| - | * I used "Curil", a standard sealing compound. * Open the servo and put the sealant an all touching surfaces * also put sealant to the cable, where it leads through the housing | ||
| - | |||

| - | |||
| - | 2. Insert a O-Ring under the horn | ||
| - | |||
| - | * remove the horn * add a 1mm thick o-ring * add some lubrication. I used "CRC Multilube" - attention - lubrication has to be compatible with the rubber of the sealant. Don't use silicon rings with silicon lubricant. * screw the horn back on | ||

| - | |||
| - | - submerge in water while it moves - no bubbles should emerge | ||
