Thanks, these are some great ideas to start with. The top and bottom of my
plane have antennas sticking up everywhere. It seems to be in rig but since
I am getting ready to pull the Ruddervators in order to meet the AD I will
go ahead and check the things you mention. I have been interested in the
gap seals for a while they seem to be a simple and effective soulution. As
for the exhaust. that may have to wait a while. Thanks for the advice.
Blue Skies,
Steve D.

Good Afternoon Steve,
One more comment.
Don't do the flap to fuselage gap seal until you are absolutely certain that
the wing will not have to be moved. Most serious rigging efforts will
require that it be moved. If you have the gap seal riveted to the fuselage,
it can be a real pain.
Unfortunately, most shops will droop a flap or bend an aileron tab to pick up
a wing instead of following the manual procedure. It is a lot easier and
satisfies most customers.
If you really want the airplane to be fast, you must use the travel boards to
be sure the flaps and ailerons have not been misrigged to provide hands off
flight. After you are certain the flaps and ailerons are properly faired to
the wing, then, and only then, rig for hands off flight by moving the wing.
After that is accomplished, you can attach the gap seal for the flap to
fuselage gap.
Happy Skies,
Old Bob
