One thing that was pointed out to me by Kim Prout's father (an
aerodynamicist of some repute) is that the wing root fairings MUST be
airtight in order to gain maximum efficiency of airflow. An inefficient seal
here can lose several knots of cruise speed.
I am using a rubber seal on the inside of Graham's wing fairings,
effectively duplicating the configuration on Kim's aircraft.
