Is the foam tape supposed to remove space
that can “cause” drag? Then no use for gap seals? If so - genius
idea.
What’d I miss?

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.
