Hello Group,

 

I am just starting to install the wing fairings and find the manual (mine is 1999 vintage) a little confusing.  Seems like the manual directs you to end up with a 1/8” gap between the fairing and the wing skins.  I can’t find any reference to filling this gap later.  Seems to me that I’ve never seen a plane with a 1/8” gap between the wing skin and fairing.  I was thinking that maybe the wing skin should slide into the fairing ¼ - ½ “ however that type fit would probably abrade the paint on the wing area…?????  Hope someone can give me some guidance that’s been here already.

 

Any help on fitting the fairings to the wing skin would be greatly appreciated.
