I'm getting ready to fit the wings and "re-discovered" a problem I set aside awhile back: My flaps push up against the wing top skins at the outboard ends (where the flaps end and the ailerons begin.) There's a fair amount of friction until the flaps are lowered. The flaps are pushing the wing skins out slightly less than 3/32" past where they rest without tension. I've double-checked my flap spar orientation, etc. and everything seems correct. I've tried tweaking the leading edges of the flaps to no avail. Is this a common issue? Any suggestions for correcting or judging as to whether it needs to be corrected?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
