Jim:
That seems to be typical. Mine are like that also. If you are describing
the fact that the curve of the fairing stops at a point greater than
perpindicular to the wing surface. The edge of the fairing curves away from
the fuselage surface. I have them mounted on the wings with a gap present
at this point. The fix that has been mentioned as the "hot setup"so to
speak is to acquire a 2 X 4 and a heat gun. The plank is used to push the
fairing to the desired shape while the it is heated with the gun. The
fiberglass is supposed to soften and yield to the applied pressure. I
haven't tried this yet but 2 people have related this procedure to me.

don't fit very well - almost like the radius of the curve is too great
which leaves a large (10mm) gap between the fairing and the fuselage. Has
anyone got a solution or good way to fit these?
