Aileron To Flap spacing

From reading the forum it appears the standard gap between the aileron and the flap is 1/4". I can't find that information anywhere on the drawings or in the instructions. I did see the fuselage to flap gap spec on the drawings but I can't seem to find the aileron to flap spacing. Can someone point me to that reference?

Thanks
 
As I remember it says 1/4 inch but with this I had trouble with the inboard flap end being a little to close to the fuse. I am not sure how to tell you to check this first. I would think about going with 3/16 if I had it to do again.

Flaps are intentionally built a little long inbd, you are supposed to trim to fuselage.

Mine was a quick build so the flaps were pretty much done. I do not know how you would trim them. I got the space I needed by replacing some of the 470 rivets with 426 rivets.
