Of course, only empirical testing will provide an answer WRT the PIK20D,
however, positive results were achieved in the Dick Johnson Ventus 2 flight
test. See part 2

Good sealing generally yields good results.

With the S seals would there be an advantage to have the external Mylar's?

"S" seals are possible and I've replaced them in a PIK, just make the

seals
long enough to allow side movement when refitting to hinge pins,

probably
do
not require "S" seals if Mylar's are fitted top and bottom

Internal seals seemed impossible because the ailerons and flaps
have to move side ways to assemble.

Hmm, it should be possible somehow since our pik was factory

installed
with it.
