The gap is essentially zero.  In the Tri-Gear Manual, Issue 2, 30 July 1999,
page 27-22 are the instructions on how to use silicone sealant to fill the
gap (after painting, or else the paint won't stick).  I presume the other
versions of the manual have similar instructions.


Best regards,

Does anyone know what the gap between the wing root fairing and the side
of the fuselage should be?  I would like to have a contact fit for
aesthetics and drag reduction but I am concerned that the paint on the
fuselage might get chaffed due to wing flex.  Is this a concern or not?

Thanks
