Mar 15, 2024 1.2 Wing lower gap seal right side Category: Wings
Decided to fit the right side first, so any learning mistakes would be on the far side of the airplane. Biggest indecision was how far forward to set the gap seal. If the rear edge was set even to the rear edge of the wing skin, quite a lot of material was forward of the bend at the front spar. If the front edge was set right at the rear edge of the z strip it makes the rear edge of the seal extend past the rear of the door opening. However this was the better option of the two in my opinion. I trimmed the outside edge at the rear, where the root flap hinge extended below the plane of the gap seal and trimmed the vertical edge to be even with the door opening. The farthest forward hole ended up very close to the front inside edge of the D-spar so I had to file that one tinnerman down to fit. Looked pretty good once I figured it all out.
