Saw the comments re Gap Seals  and I found that a clear tape called BEAR
ALL WEATHER TAPE worked terrific. It is used her in Oz by most glider
pilots for sealing control surface and wing gaps. I will see if I can find
the product number. I am sure the US has Bear Products.

I tries this on my Sonerai elevator surfaces and the effect was very
noticeable. I was able to raise the leading edge of the horizontal
stabilizer around an inch and kept the stick loads trimmed. I know you
can't do this on a coupe but I imagine that it should aid induced drag and
thus low speed drag and possibly top end speed.

Worth a try by someone that has one flying.
