Gap sealing

Dear All,

I thought that I should pitch in on one certain detail regarding gap sealing the
flaps. The gap between the flap and the wing is a diverging duct from bottom
to top which is important to ensure airflow attachment over the flap top 
surface.
Provided that any seal you install doesn't convert this gap into a converging
or closed duct, as a nylar sliding seal would do, then you shouldn't affect
its function.

Kind regards
