Has anyone successfully used a rubber channel, other then the one Vans supplies in the wing root gap cover?
I been having a bear of a time getting the fairing in place and screwed down with the rubber channel in place. I gradually trimmed back to a 1/4" gap and now the rubber seal doesn't have quite enough pressure to maintain a nice curved shape against the fuselage ( and it was still very difficult to install it).
Spruce sells a channel that is a little wider ( http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/opencenter.php ) that I thought might work.
Any ideas or suggestions?
