	Hi gang! 

	 

	First of all, for those I did not meet this year at OSH, my name
is Albert Khasky and I am building an XL-5 retract. I am a SAN engineer
in MN with my wife Bre and 7 month old  Henri...blah blah blah... ;-)

	 

	Anyhoo,

	 Got a question-and forgive me if it has been beaten to death
already-I want to blend my winglets, upper and lower wing/strake to
fuselage joints etc to eliminate hard angles and drag. It was discussed
some at OSH. I am thinking of making the radius joints out of foam and
bonding them down with 2 bid rather than a huge amount of micro which
might crack...what do you think? Also how much radius does it take to
really make a difference in this area? Is a finger width fillet enough,
and more would be just aesthetic?

	Thanks!

	 

	Albert
