If anybody is interested in strakes/fairings to fill the gap in between the turtle deck and the inboard wing and flap area, check out this website.

Thanks, I ordered some. May do their rudder trim later if needed.

Alan, those are very nice but keep in mind you can make them for about $10-20 if you need to actually buy the aluminum.

He's also making some wingroot/upper door brackets of thin aluminum to seal up that area for me.

Steve at http://www.mlskunkworks.embarqspace.com/ also made up & sent me a set of Highlander wingroot fairings that are made of lightweight aluminum and speeded up that job nicely for a very low cost. I'm painting them Tiger Orange to go with the T-hatch & strakes, wingtips, and midship band.

It looks as though they are out of business, or they've changed websites

Would you believe that Northrop, yes the big time aircraft manufacturer, sent Steve a letter telling him to change his website? Sad but true. The new website is: http://www.mlblueskunk.com/

Looking forward to a review of how well they work, and what effect they have aside from the obvious aesthetic function.

They are pretty much all aesthetics
, you won't feel any performance improvement with them but you'll look better trying
