First glue some left over foam blocks cut to a 45 in pieces to the space between the wing and the side. Next use a coke or pepsi can wrapped with glued on sand paper and sand your fillet about 2/3 the way back on the wing. Next use a coffee can covered with sand paper and sand your fillet the rest of the way. By the way, the coffee can serves as the guide for the very back trailing edge of the wing to side too. Make sure you work out the coke can vs. coffee can difference and fair that in. Micro the result, fill anything you need to and add a layer of fiberglass. This is a one afternoon job. The bottom was all coke can to the rear.

I read in the archives (i believe it was Mark Langford) who said with some discussed "if he'd do it again he'd just slop some micro in the corner and sand a radious and that would be it". My question is how thick can I go with the micro before i need to start worying about cracks or pulling away from the fusalage. otherwise my thought is to foam and fiberglass the fillet, keping the top of the radious 1/4" below the bottom of the fusalage to give the fiberglass somthing to stick to, then create the rest of the fillet with micro. Thanks for your help.
