Bob Goodnight asked, > "What is used to cover the gap in the wings when bolted on?"
Ken Cottle came up with a solution which has survived well for thirty years plus. I don't know just where he got them, but he installed brackets underneath both wings which can be tightened or loosened and have a slot which holds one end of a long, skinny fiberglass 3-inch wide strip that covers the gap top and bottom. The strip is anchored with a metal curve which fits the trailing edge and anchored on the other end by the aforementioned bracket. If you'll look at the pictures at this link https://tinyurl.com/y6g6a9yw you can get some idea of what I'm describing. I ought to do some better photos of these strips and the adjustable mechanism that allows them to be secured in place. I once asked Ken where he got those adjustable mechanisms you see in the picture and seems to me he didn't remember, but I can ask again. I'll also take some more explicit photos next time I'm at the hangar.
