  • Coating insides and sealing tubing

    Let's talk about linseed oil and coating the insides of tubing; especially since some folks seem to indicate they are filling their tubing with oil, NOT draining it, but rather sealing the tubing, apparently nearly filled. I was under the impression one filled the tubes with oil, sloshed it around and allowed it to drain. Leave the drain hole open. End.

    It seems to me to be a contradiction in logic that in some cases we seal a tube and in others we don't.

    What I see is a weep hole at the bottom of each of the lift struts, at the bottom of the landing gear, fuselage drain, Horizontal stabilizers and elevators, trim tab, rudder.

    Does anyone elses see sealing any tubing to not follow logic? - MikeH
