I mounted mine with screws because bending the aluminum while mounted
could damage the trailing edge of the control surface. I guess if you
used .010" aluminum sheet that would probably work though, but then I'd
worry about flutter (I'm not happy if I'm not worried about something).
With screws I can remove it in half a minute, measure it, bend it on the
brake, and reinstall without damaging anything. That's getting it
dialed in to start with, but a prop change later can also require
another adjustment. With N891JF, tiny drag contributors are not
something I worry about, and I'm not sure how sturdy these trailing
edges were constructed....
