FW: Wing fillets...per prevoious discussionFerg,
Regarding the "pyramid" that is attached to the fuselage at the trailing
edge of the fairing, these could be made detachable (screws or Camlocks)
to enable the standard trailer to be used. For my own situation, I found
it more convenient to modify (temporarily; it was someone else's
trailer) the spar supports on the trailer, so that there was no conflict
with stacking the wings. As I recall, this remained road-legal for the
UK (7'6").

Having discovered what Mitchell prescribed for the Spitfire
(which can't be all that bad, I decided half-bad was better than sharp
corners, so went half way... The method was to fit foam forms to the
flap area and carve a suitable shape which would slide the fillets under
the GraSing ones at the trailing edge. PLUS I thought the fillet, when
flaps extended, might serve partially as a fence to prevent unnecessary
air being dumped off the flap.... Maybe not.
I have uploaded 4 photos of my project. showing the
installation of fairings/fillets.
Go to the EuropaOwners gallery and I'm about fifth album down
The series shows (I hope) fourth, a mod to one flap inboard
end. The fillet slides under the trailing edge end of the main fillet,
visible in the first three shots. I began with Graham Singleton's
excellent fillet set, and embellished by extending the function to the
flaps.
Further explanation, on demand.
Cheers, Ferg
