I have decided to do away with the fiberglass fairing (for the wing/fuselage intersection) like Steve Sampson did on his RV-4. With that being said, what kind of rubber strip has everyone been using? I've seen the various styles at Aircraft Spruce, and Vans appears to sell a 12' strip for the RV-6, which I assume would work well.
As for the aluminum strip (that covers the gap between the wing and the fuselage), I think the RV-6 uses a long strip of metal. Does anyone have a part number for this? I couldn't find it on "the list" and I'm trying to figure out the cheapest way to order a long strip of metal without paying a cutting fee and so forth. I think the RV-6 wing and the RV-4 wing are the same dimensions at the root of the wing, so I'm thinking they'd be interchangeable (as long as the strip isn't pre-drilled).
Any other advice would be welcome . . .
Thanks,
Rick
