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.

Just seemed like it would look nicer to have something there.

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.

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. -------- David Maib RV-10 #40559 New Smyrna Beach, FL Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=439904#439904 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 01:11:22 PM PST US From: Linn Walters Subject: Re: RV10-List: Re: Wing root fairings I've been wondering what to do with the glareshield ..... and you nailed it.
