Default trim aircraft f20/spectre wing fairing question?

hi all, im building a trim f20 tigershark. i believe it is an older kit as the wing is not skined yet, my question is does anyone know where the wing leading edge is supposed to meet the leading edge fairing? the foam cores that i have when positioned in the wing saddle seem to line up about 8mm higher than the fusalage fairing, any photos would be great, also i think the spectre has a similar setup so photos of that would also be great.
thanks greg

Hi,

If it's a similar set-up as a Spectre then this may help. You had to line up the wing to be flush with bottom of the fuz.

This left a 'step' down from the leading edge root extension to the wing. A simple fairing was made from F/G sheet to blend in the LERX and the wing.

Cheers

Jeff

Hi , just like Jeff says you line the bottom of the wing with the
bottom of the fuz.
I am just building a spectre with a MW54 in it.
