The wing root fairings are being a bit of a pain. Running along the fuselage, Vans stock fairings are a tad to narrow in some spots & too tight in others. Too tight is fine as I can file it to fit, but too narrow is an issue - I can't grow material.
At the main spar area the fairing is just narrow enough to look sloppy & is therefore unacceptable. The only solution, other than trying a replacement part, is to use a rubberized strip of U-shaped material to conceal the flaw. Afterall, this is normal practice on many production models & on most of Vans. However, the RV14 was designed not to have a gap seal at the root fairings. Guess that is going to change.
