15. To provide a clean caulked seam
all around the panels: apply
painters masking tape to the
outside perimeter of each of the
panels about ¼ “ from the top,
bottom, left and right edges at
each flange joint. The tape will
be removed just before the
radome caulking has had time
to set.
NOTE: It is extremely important to
assure that the flanges are properly
aligned before the bolts are tightened
and kept in alignment as the hardware is
aligned. This is necessary for the inside
clearance and the outside aesthetic
appearance of the radome. Please note
this picture shown good alignment as
observed from inside the radome and
below a picture of flanges with bad
alignment.
