Steve, that's my problem on my Legacy. I just noticed I've got some fore/aft play in the flaps when UP, so I checked that gap and it is almost 1/4 inch at the leading edge of the flap inside that pocket. The other flap is tighter. Wouldn't a gap seal tape on the bottom of the wing be more efficient than plugging the gap inside?

OK Doug, here’s another 4 for you. Put Home Depot Compressible Foam Tape in the wing trailing edge flap pocket. I have been planning to do this but just haven’t got around to it. Put in 8 more “tricks” and you are up 40 KNOTS! Don’t laugh you guys, Lee Behel did it at Reno.

Any bets on the improvement with gap seals, etc? I am guessing 4 knots.
