Hi Jacs; Here are the drawings I came up with to work out the fillets:

The first image is the wing rib top with the vertical lines showing where I want the wing fillet formers to be (the first one is a little bit behind the corresponding fuse former). I freehanded a somewhat smooth line for the new fillet outline.

The images after that are just tracings of fuse formers F2, 3 and 4, with the wing's actual surface drawn on, and then a line is drawn between the intersection of the fuse and fillet, and the wing and fillet. I tried to keep each angle about the same to avoid much twisting in the fillet sheet - that made the actual fillet shape easier to determine.

If you'd like more pictures, just holler - I have the actual fillet on the plane (I left off the base - didn't really see a need for it while the wing is on) and the template I used to shape it.

Dan.
