Les,

The trailing edge of the upper skin was pretty wavy on my QB wings.  In reflex
position I measured everything between gaps of 1/8" to interference of almost
1/8" which I considered a bit too much preload on the flap.  It is very easy to
adjust these by hand to give a more or less uniform snug fit (ie. touching with
very light preload) along the length of the flap.

Cheers,

Gordon

when everything is painted, the nonexistent gap between the flap and upper skin
