In looking through the plans I cannot find any reference to the fairing material used to cover the intersection between the center section and outer wing so, questions
1) What thickness and grade of material ?
I found 2024T3 x .016x12"x12' used for leading edge material but .016 seems a little thin to me ?
2) Is it permissible to have a butt joint on the top of the wing ?
I ask this only if .016 is to thin and I need to go to thicker material as it would save me from having to purchase a full 4'x8' sheet for these fairings as they are 4" wide x 78" in length
And finally, several years ago at Oshkosh I saw this same fairing installed with no visible fasteners along the edges. I posted this same question here about how? Someone replied and even sent a photo or drawing on how it was done. Somehow I have lost that information
I vaguely remember a bolt accessed through a hole at the trailing edge that was attached to a flange that pulled the fairing tight around the wing ??
If someone could refresh my memory I promise to have it tattooed to my forearm - - my wife can remind me where I put it . . .
Thank you
