I installed gap seals a couple of years ago and found no aerodynamic benefit
at all. They pre loaded the aileron linkage a little and after a few flights
I removed them. They were stuck on with silicone and the paint came off
where they were attached. Several hours of work wasted.

Gap seals are to prevent a jet of air from shooting up through the
aileron gap and producing drag. I did the testing on my KR with the gap
seals and also found no advantage in climb or speed. I did find that the
seals pressed against the bottom of the ailerons creating very heavy
ailerons at high
