 Hi All,

The FlightCrafts folks recommended an easy approach to the fairing gap. At 
least it is less dicey
than heating the fairing and fuselage to beyond Tg.

I was sent to the local Home Depot to find insulating foam tape which 
neatly
fills the gap, albeit with a somewhat porous surface.  The open foam 
surface does
not seem to impact my cruise speed very much at about 135kts at 22 inches 
MP at 5000 msl
