Hi! William,
Lots depends on how often you will be intending dismantling the aircraft
? In my case I used silicone but only allowed it to attach on the
fuselage by covering the root fairing with cling film so the bead is
retained on extracting the wings. Then you need to consider that the gap
closes on the upper surface and opens on the lower surface when the
aircraft weight is taken by the lift on the wings. I tried to anticipate
the deflection by uplifting the wing tips only to find that the cured
silicone wouldn=99t allow the re-assembly of the wings!
Perhaps you are considering =9C grounded appearances=9D
however you can=99t satisfy all the conditions all of the time on
such a flexible wing performance coupled to the fuselage in the concept
as it is.
The same goes on a trike leg fairing to the underside of the fuselage
when the leg is loaded when standing on the ground ?

Subject: Europa-List: gap between the wing fairings and the fuselage
the manual mentions sealing the gap with silicone.
is this the best method?
thanks will
