REFLECTOR: FW: Wing root fairings

Has anyone done similar with the canard/doghouse and fuselage intersection?
I have a removable doghouse and am pondering how to create a fillet and
round out the angle without having a sharp edge- or is  a rounded edge
better than nothing?

I don't. I'm trying to eliminate all 90 degree intersections. Here's a
picture of my upper and lower wing-winglet intersections. I used pour foam
to build up the area, then shaped it with sandpaper glued to a 6" PVC pipe,
then covered it with two plies of bid.

Does anyone see any downside to fairing/filling the bottom wing-fuselage
joint in an effort to reduce drag?
