I used something like this for boat repairs only is was on a smaller scale. I'll try to put it in words. Basically its a sanding pole but tapered. You can make it out of cardboard. or, a 3" template for one end and a 12" template for the other. Install some foam, sand, then glass. When cured stick some sandpaper on it. When you sand only use short bursts and slowly work from small radius to the large. OR you will have to just eyeball the fairing.

KR> Sanding wing fairing
I need to sand a wing root fairing foam block with about a 3" radius for most of the length, then go to about a 12" radius aft of the wing (this will be a Hughes Racer looking fairing). The front half before the radius changes will be easy enough to do with a coffee can or something, but I don't know any good way to do the changing radius on the aft side. Anyone have any suggestions or do I just have to eyeball it and maybe use some cardboard templates? Brian Kraut Engineering Alternatives, Inc. www.engalt.com

Brian I would try one of those traffic cones. just glue some sandpaper around it and test it on a sample piece of foam Mike Turner Jackson, Mo. - Original Message - From: Brian Kraut<mailto:brian.kr...@engalt.com> To: KRnet<mailto:kr...@mylist.net> Sent: Sunday, February 06, 2005 10:27 PM Subject: KR> Sanding wing fairing I need to sand a wing root fairing foam block with about a 3" radius for most of the length, then go to about a 12" radius aft of the wing (this will be a Hughes Racer looking fairing).
