Hey Scott!
I have a Syssa 30cc gas engine in my Venus actually. I found the foam wing saddle tape. I totally thought you were referring to an expanding product of some sort.

The area of the belly pan fore and aft is going to require alot of fill if the wing is going seat fully secure. It's sitting on the bench now shimmed and ready for something. Think I sit and stare at it a while longer.

Is their a certain silicone that will work best? Exterior white from the depot maybe.
A couple of times in the past I have used the clear silicone stuff from GE. Just laid a big bead in the wing saddle and reinstalled the wing with the wing saddle aread of the wing covered in Saran Wrap.

Of course when you're finished the belly pan is going to be have to modified to get it back in line with the fuse belly, but looking at your awesome refurb of the model I don't think you'll have any problem with that!

Per Joe's suggestion, the good thing about something like Bondo is that it cures very quickly and is sandable and paintable.

Just hope you're happy with the new wing incidence.
