Flap vs Aileron Edge in Level Cruise (LIVP)...Not Flush
I notice the aileron in neutral level position leaves a bit of exposed flap edge (that is, they're not perfectly flush), suggesting the flaps don't retract fully.  Needs to be studied.  In level cruise, I indicate 189-192 KIAS at 100*F LOP.  I hear faster numbers in other LIVP planes.

What's your thoughts?  CHange the rigging, pull the flap up a bit more.
