The flat area where the strut fairing is trimmed so the wings can fold. Is there any need to put a section of foil that anyone has put on the tapered part that is removable when you want to fold the wings and does it really help or will it not be noticeable,

This is one method of filling that area. I saw this on a Fox down at Sebring and duplicated it on mine. It just requires a sheet of .0016 alum and works well and allows the wing to fold. Another friend of mine used micro balloons and epoxy. It looks nice and fills the area.

Thank you the connector it looks real good. I am about to that point and also was looking for a way to once the wing is folded open for flight a way to add the rest of the airfoil to the strut. Some Item that can be removed next winter when It is down for the yearly inspection.
I was thinking of something that is attached at the top and folds down and locks in place for flight.
