I did not like the plans callout to drill and tap the longeron for screws to attach the .025 fairing so after trimming it to fit I simply bonded the fairing into place using good ol proseal. I did not install the rubber channel either.

Nice. You just taped it in place while the proseal dried?

who's ever successfully mounted the rubber channel anyway. I had to hack so much of mine away at the HS that it would not stay on the fairing due to the upward curve of the fairing to transition to the fuse. Gave up on it, and threw it in the "well that didn't work bin".

Larry,

Yea, the fairing was temporarily held into place using bits of tape. After about 24 hours of (partial) cure time, the excess proseal squeeze out was removed using a plastic scraper and MEK....ditto for the NACA vents, rudder cable fairings, footsteps, etc.

Proseal is magic stuff but I had yet to consider it for retrofitting
foot steps - I'll keep it in mind!
