Kevin,
Thanks for the tip, I was thinking of that but wondered how I may hold the
flange against the fuselage while I heat it. You should have enough re-dux
in 1/3 rd of a can. I just used about a 1-inch wide strip of it with flox
mixed in around the wing. About a 30 gram mix per wing did it. With the
fairing on the wing pushed against the sides I marked the wing on the
outside of the flange with a marker. Then I removed it and applied the green
stuff to the wing. Then I put the flange in place, drilled and used sheet
metal screws as I worked my way from front to back. Good luck and enjoy.
