flap to fuselage gap

Well Known Member
Just fitted the flaps to my wing and fuselage. I've got about 1/8" gap between the flap top skin and the fuselage side. Looks real nice but I'm wondering if that might be a little tight. Can't find the reference in the plans or drawings. But I know they call out 1/4" inch either side of the aileron. Is it supposed to be 1/4" for the flap to fuselage gap as well?
 
On my 7A I had about 1/4 inch. I do not believe it matters much, only to clear the fuselage. I would want them to be the same on each side, and you can trim them to your desire with no problem.
