Bill,
I still have more work to do on these fillets, but I wanted to post these photos showing the progress so far. I mounted the rear portion of the fillet in line with the trailing edge of the wing. I then built up the fillet between the fuse and wing with Micro-balloons. Once I get that finished with Hobbylight, I will add stock to the rear part of the fillet to accomodate the thickness of the trailing edge of the wing.
I like the idea of useing a 1/2 A nose gear for the tail wheel. Since the previous owner already has the kit mount installed in the fuse, I thought I could use a small wheel coller below the stock mount to keep any stress off the rudder and hinges. I think I can build a tail wheel fairing that will accomodate the changes and still look like what is shown on the plans.
More to follow as the saga unfolds.
