Hi Frans"the flap was pushed outwards against the aileron, resulting in a lock-up of the aileron."This was always a concern for me even though the factory assured me since there is no reason for ther flaps to be pushed outboard,  just not worry about it. I could not not worry about it. I will not knowingly fly an aeroplane where a control surface can be fairly easily be jammed by a slight act of God. I built up my outboard flap closeout so it is smooth and is in fact now my flap stop. With the flap jammed outboard rubbing on my stop (smooth closeout) I have clearance between my flap and aileron. With my flap not being stressed outboard there is just about 1/8" clearance between flap and stop. Here are some pictures:http://www.europaowners.org/forums/gallery2.php?g2_itemId=37457http://www.europaowners.org/forums/gallery2.php?g2_itemId=37460http:/http://www.europaowners.org/forums/gallery2.php?http://www.europaowners.org/forums/gallery2.php?g2_itemId=37663http://www.europaowners.org/forums/gallery2.php?g2_itemId=37666http://www.europaowners.org/forums/gallery2.php?g2_itemId=37669No pics of sanded smooth but once flat flap fairly easily will slide on closeout with a good amount of outward pressure on flap.Ron Parigoris   [quote][b]
