It is just much easier to attach something at that location.I don't know how much the outer gap will hurt the flow, but I would think blocking it from the inside would help to trap a pocket of air, versus having air flowing through. I am open for suggestions though.
I'll be sealing the gap on the T-100 in September at DARKO 'n see what that looks like.The smoke appears to just jump the gap,but the load cells will tell us about drag.
