Angier,

I agree with Scott that silicon caulk is the best permanent solution. It
should be put on after the plane is painted. I would recommend putting =
the
caulk on after at least some of your time has been flown off. You =
certainly
won't need the extra 1 knot that sealing the gap might provide during =
the
test period. Just stick some electrical tape on it for the first =
flights.
When testing has progressed to the point that it's unlikely that you'll =
want
to remove the wings and take it home for any kind of adjustment, repair, =
or
modification you can put the caulk on. Doing it as Scott described is a
relatively easy and quick task. Don't bother with it now.

Is there a preferred method for sealing the gap between our outer =20
wings and center wing section on a 360?
I'm hoping my wing installation will be permanent. :-)
Tape, silicone or other?
