I have not installed the wing / fuselage intersection fairing yet (wing is not on the plane). Can someone out there with a finished 6/6A give me a measurement from the fuselage to the end of the wing, not including the wingtip? I am laying out a pattern on paper for scallops and want to get it as close as I can.

At what point on the wing would you like the measurement? Leading edge? Spar?

The fuselage side is not parallel to the inboard rib of the wing due to dihedral and curvature of the fuselage. The closest point (shortest length) is at the top of the main spar. I am not sure how your scheme is planned but it might be better to assemble the plane and do your layout then. Besides, the work of fabricating the fairings is going to 1) ruin any paint nearby and 2) require you remove the wings again anyway to put in nutplates.
