Posting this in general as it applies to more than a -7A.
If you look at the pics below you will notice a fairly good sized gap between the top wing skin and the flap. I would estimate the gap at about 1/8" when the flaps are retracted. The gap gets larger as the flaps are extended. Is anyone else out there flying with a gap like this? I understand Van's makes a loaner tool to fix this but I really don't want to go down this path if it doesn't gain me anything since my flaps are attached.
Just wanted to see if this is normal or not. Thanks for your input!
