|
There is a weather strip that's supposed to be installed on the 6A between the wing-root gap fairing and the fuselage. It seals up that last 1/4" or so of space. It tried installing that for the first time last night and got no where. Is it best to try to put in on the gap filler fairing before you screw the fairing down, or after the fairing is mounted? If after it's mounted, can you slide it on or just force it on with... what?... a screw driver, your fingers, special tool....?
Any hints would be appreciated.

I’ve never tried to install the fairing strip without the weather strip installed on the fairing. I initially put the rubber strip on and held it in place with a number of strategically place rubber bands around the rubber and fairing.
I then placed it up against the fuselage and started screwing down the fairing starting from the underneath and worked my way around the leading edge, onto the top and down the wing to the trailing edge. The rubber bands can be cut and easily removed.
But, after I did it that way a couple of times, I found the rubber bands unnecessary.
I’m sure there are other ways, but that worked for me.
Good luck
Ed

Hi Tom,
On my 6A, I always applied the strip to the fairing as I installed the fairing. I never tried to appy it after the fairing was in place. That worked well for me through all the occasions of initial assembly, annuals and tank service bulletins. The gap is fairly small and I expected that it would be difficult to instal the strip after the fairing was in place.
