Is there any problem with flying with the joint and attachment bolts exposed, or is it mandatory that this joint be covered/faired for safe/stable flight? >Ken Jones +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I have some experience with aircraft with a wider gap between wing sections, and then can be serious degradation in performance approaching a stall. It's probably not a problem with a small gap, like Orma's. The really tricky thing can be a loose fitting "cover" that unports as low speeds. I would seal with duct tape for a temporary solution, and probably use an aluminum strip glued down with silicone adhvesive as a more permanent fix that could be peeled of easily. Fiberglass would work well too, and could probably be laid up as a flat piece and wrapped around. Leaks are never a good thing.
