I spent a few hours finishing up the fitting of the wing fairings. I got them all drilled and clecoed, and trimmed a 1/4" gap between them and the fuselage all the way around. A test-fitting of the rubber gasket shows that there will a substantial amount of effort and cussing to get the gasket installed. I also might have to glue the ends of the gasket to the fairing, since the pressure required to get the gasket in place tends to roll it off the fairing.
The other major project was to finish profiling the forward spar attach angles to the sides of the fuselage, and also trim off the top forward corner of the angle so the gap seals fit. I might have to do a little more trimming when the gasket is installed.
The next hurdle wil be to back-drill the spar attach angles from inside the fuselage. I am not relishing the thought of doing that, especially on the left side where the fuel lines and fuel selector are.

Forward spar attach angle. Still a little more profiling to do.
