Doug-

The idea is good- but need to correct the geometry- I have placed a
diverging fillet in that area for just that reason- got the specs from the
AR-5 tapes on drag reduction- I am pretty sure that I have posted some
pictures on the velocity builders section- if not- you can drop by next week
at the hanger and take a look...

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?
