Hi Scott,
I remember Vance Jaqua used to say the KIS had a distinctive whistle
when it was in the landing configuration. He said you could always tell
when a KIS was coming in for a landing. Your comment just reminded me
of that.

Scott,

force would be desirable.
If you have extra gap seal, 15 yd. roll seems like allot, would you like
to sell me enough for my ailerons?

Hi Tim,
I just put tape between the hinges on the side with the hinges. I
also had to trim about a 1/4 inch off the flap gap seal since the
whistled with the flaps down. I attached with gap seals with double
sided tape and single sided tape running from the skin up over the gap
seal as for anti peel. I just followed what the website said to do. I
used the double and single sided tape from the website. Not the
cheapest, but it is high quality tape. I attached a picture of the flap
gap seal before I trimed them.

Hi Scott,
Did you put the seal on the bottom only? Do you have a photo of your
instillation you could send? What tape did you use?
