The plans stipulate that there should be a 3/32” gap between the outer wing panel skin and the stub wing skin. I have noticed at least one L360 with no gap at all. My question is, what is the purpose of this gap? I presume it is designed to ensure that wing skin loads are not transferred to the stub wing when the wings are flexing.
