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 knowinglyfly an aeroplane
where a control surface can be fairly easily be jammed by a
slightact of God. I built up my outboard flap closeout so it is
smooth and is in factnow myflap stop.With theflap
jammed outboard rubbing on my stop (smooth closeout) I have clearance
between my flap and aileron. With my flap not being stressed
outboardthere is just about 1/8" clearance between flap and
stop. Here are some pictures:

No pics of sanded smooth but once flat flap fairly easily will slide on
closeout with a good amount of outward pressure on flap.
