| Subject: | Wing root fairings |
I used the same rubber channel that is used on the wing root for RV-8s
and such (same material as used on the bottom of the Horizontal
Stabilizer, just longer) I purchased the material from Van=99s.
Like Jesse says, no need for this along the fuselage skin where there is
a bracket to screw down the root fairing. Not installing this trim made
the leading edge to fuselage transition look unfinished.
When you do this you=99ll need open the leading edge to fuselage
gap perhaps 1/8=9D to =C2=BC=9D to provide room for the
channel. Also use a little black RTV in the channel that slides over
the root fairing to make sure it does not work itself out and start
flapping on the side of the fuselage (this was a rude awaking during my
third flight in the RV-8A). Put the RTV in the channel then install on
the leading edge fairing such that the RTV sets up with the channel in
place.

Thanks Jesse,
That is the way I have been reading the plans. Just seemed like it would
look nicer to have something there.

I don't find mention of any weatherstrip for the wing root fairings. Am
I missing something? What have others done to make a nice joint between
fuselage skin and wing root fairing?

Yep, you need to create room for it between the cover and the fuselage skin. I
don't have any RTV on it, and it stays on fine even where there no support angle
underneath, just need to make sure the gap is not too big. With the J shaped
rubber I used there's not a lot of rubber sticking out, maybe only 3/16.

I used some edge guard that looks like this.
http://www.trimlok.com/prod/Edge-Guard/Edge-Trims/All-Product-Categories_120/Edge-Guard_119.aspx
I got it at a local automotive store up in Minnesota. It fits snugly on the edge
with no adhesive required. No need to trim the metal to make it fit, either.
I also put it on the edge of my glareshield, which I painted flat black rather
than covering it. The material was very inexpensive, and seven years and counting
it still looks great. Sounds like the same type of material that Les used.
Will try to get a pic to post in the next day or two.

I've been wondering what to do with the glareshield ..... and you nailed
it. I went the McMaster-Carr route for the door seals ...... and that
ought to work just dandy for the edge of the glareshield. I'll have to
buy some for a thinner edge though. Thanks for the mental trigger!

I found this to be a good product for the glare shield edge:

I too just painted the top of the glare shield flat black.
