I finished building my flaps and went to store them. After cleaning off the dust and putting them "back to back" with their trailing edges touching - the trailing edges are not straight! There is a slightly less than 1/8" gap between the two trailing edges in the middle but the tips are touching each other at the trailing edge.
A quick check of my ailerons showed the same condition.. I backriveted where I could, cosmetically they look fine (to me) with the exception of the trailing edge curve.
Is this acceptable? How did this happen? I suspect it was the work bench that may have had a 1/16" dip in the middle - is that the only cause?
If this is not acceptable - what is the remedy?
