The fix suggested in the introductory chapter of the manual is to build up the leading edge of the control surface with micro and shape it though sanding so the gap stays reasonably consistent through the control surface travel. Other than the additional weight, which is pretty minimal, does anyone see any downside to this fix? As long as the micro is less than 3/16" or so, isn't the risk of cracking pretty minimal? This fix might avoid the need for gap seals. I haven't done this yet, so I would appreciate any thoughts about whether it makes sense. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
