My airplane has gap seals on the rudder and elevator, but the home-made aileron gap seals have been removed. The seller told me about his method, which involves sticking the seal to both the fixed and movable sides of the gap. But your method, where the trailing edge is free-floating, sounds cleaner. Does this method work on the (in my case) larger aileron gaps?
