I used pour foam to fill in the intersection between the strake and the fuselage, then shaped it with some 40 grit sand paper glued around a Clorox bottle. Here's what the fillet looks like with a Clorox bottle radius. By doing the top and bottom of the wings, strakes, and winglet intersections this way, I'm hoping to pick up a few extra mph.
