Tim,
I took an old inner-tube and cut 3" diameter circles out of it. Then I cut a line from the outside of the circle to the center. Finally I cut a 1" hole in the center. I glued the circles to the fuselage, around the flap and ailerons push rods.
My goal was to stop air from coming in in the winter in the Detroit area. It worked. I now have no air leaks in the cockpit.

"While my Lancair has parked outside, a heavy rainshower passed. Water entered in the cokpit beside the torquetubes of the flaps.
How did you seal this opening? Are there any pictures available?
The opening of the fuselarge next to the flap needs quit a big opening (2"x2") to exit the torquetube in case of maintenance."
