| Subject: | Wing root fairing |
Hi Bill
I presume you did a layup and used the bottom of your wing as a mold to
make the panels for the bottom wing root fairing. What did you use as a
release material and how thick did you make this layup.
Thanks
Mike

Okay, that is a different story.
First, to make the 'slots': I laid a long straight edge (4' aluminum
ruler if I recall) down on a flat table, laid a piece of poly over that
so nothing would stick, and then laid a strip of 2 ply bid that went
from the table up over the ruler to make a step. I put peel ply over the
BID, and then brushed it down to make it conform over the step. After
cure, it was trimmed to size, and then bonded to the bottom of the
fuselage using Aeropoxy 6228 and clecoes. I then filled the bottom of
the fuselage at the 'step' to smooth the transition using MICRO.
The fairing is attached to the wing with screws and nutplates,
overlapping the 'joggle' and it 'floats' in the slot on the fuselage,
that way there are no stresses when the wing flexes. At the front of
the wing, the fairing tucks under the top fairing.

Thanks Bill,
I should have been a bit more specific, I was refering to the
bottom wing root fairing that you slide into the slot you built up under
the fuselage. Does this also "float" where it covers the wing and does
it fit into the joggle at the inner edge of the underside of the wing?
If you don't mind could you also explain how you constructed the slots
on the fuselage.
Thanks
Mike

The fairing is NOT attached to the wing. The wing will flex and
has to be removed/installed. It just sits on the wing surface.

Hi Bill,
I was lokking at how you attached the wing root fairings and can
figure out what you did on the fuselage but how did you attach the
fairing onto the wing?
Cheers
Mike
