 Posted: Mon Aug 12, 2013 11:35 am Post subject: Wing Root Fairing Weather Strip |
 |
|
I've seen some with weather strip between the wing root fairing and the
fuselage. Is that because the gap was too big? I didn't see it called
out in the plans and was just wondering. For those that used weather
strip there, you have a part number?
Thanks,

If it is on top if the wings, it's not in the plans, but a little larger gap there can be a good thing, because tight tolerances can lead to scratching the paint if you aren't careful when you remove the fairing.

I don't see it in the plans in Section 44 for either the top or the bottom.

No expert and no wind tunnel tests......but I am not sure a gap seal is
needed there based on my dirty airplane tests. It appears the airflow is
not attached there and rides up higher on the fuselage. Also, the way the
walk plate attaches to the airframe my make putting a gap seal in a
challenge. Also.....in order to make room you will have a smaller edge
distance on the inside screws. There may be enough room there to do
that....never measured.
I think the intersection looked just fine once I got done.
YMMV

I used the same fairing strip on the leading edge of the RV-10 as listed in
the plans for the RV-8 instead of the "no rubber strip, just trip to fit"
RV-10 instructions. This provides a nice clean leading edge transition to
the fuselage. I ran the strip from the spar forward. I just ordered the
part from Van's. Remember to put a little black RTV inside the strip when
you install the fairing. Once the RTV sets up it is much less likely to
come loose and flop around in the wind.

No its not in the plans, but I did put it there top and bottom just for
(looks?).
I made the gap a little larger to accommodate the strip.
I used this I believe
<http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/rubberchannel.php> it is the
D-channel P/N 05-00598.
I used rubber cement to attach it. When I need to remove the few screws it
covers it folds out of the way locally and a little dab of cement, sometime
not, on it after re-assembly and it is good to go. Also I used a continuous
piece all the way round which requires a little planning (have 3 arms/hands
ready) when removing the fairings at conditional, but not to much of a
hassle.
