Mark,
Just to add a little to what Richard wrote. By closing the wing gap, you
have increased the effective length of your wing. For the same thrust or
throttle setting, the wing will generate more lift. To maintain level
flight, you must hold forward stick and reduce the AOA until the wing
generates the same total lift as it did with out the gap seal. If you are
holding an uncomfortable amount of forward stick, you may need to adjust the
horizontal stabilizer AOA.
