Started work on the fuselage fillets and decided to use fiberglass cloth for the fillet base and to forum a hard surface for the fuselage wing saddle.

First I marked a line on the top of the wing along the fuselage sides to represent the outside edge of the fillet. Then I put clear packaging tape on the top of the wing so it spanned the sides of the fuselage. Then I cut some 6 oz fiberglass cloth strips and taped it down along the line on the wing. I cut the cloth so that the finished edge of the cloth would be on the outside edge. Next I put the wing on the fuselage and bolted it down. I put some masking tape on the sides of the fuselage to keep the resin contained along the lower edge of the wing saddle.

Polyester resin was then brushed on the cloth so that it filled the weave and hopefully wicked under the edges of the fuselage. When the resin tacked up some I removed the tape on the edges of the cloth.

Hopefully I have not permanently glued my wing to the fuselage!!!
