When I initially fabricated the upper intersection fairings they were pretty close fitting but after paint they were splayed out a bit on the trailing edge. I ignored them but it has been an issue that has been simmering thoughts of doing something... since then I have been noticing how other similar aircraft address this and found that they were attached with a screw and nut on a local extra 300.
Today I was noticing a bit of a squeaky chaffing sound during taxi and chased it down to the gear fairing on the right side where the inside tab has broken allowing quite a bit of movement. I decided to fix the pieces at the intersection by adding an attachment on the trailing edge. this really cleans things up and i should have done this earlier...
