REFLECTOR: FW: Wing root fairings

[lawrence epstein]

If you look at the pressure plot (in last month''s Kitplanes or Sport Pilot) 
you get a low pressure area at  those intersections. That is definitely a 
bad thing under the wing, but I'm not sure it is useful to do the fairings 
above the wing.
