I am getting ready to paint the wings on my RV-6A. I have not installed the

wing / fuselage intersection fairing yet (wing is not on the plane). Can

someone out there with a finished 6/6A give me a measurement from the

fuselage to the end of the wing, not including the wingtip? I am laying out

a pattern on paper for scallops and want to get it as close as I can.



Thanks

I can measure it for you Don. At what point on the wing would you like the 

measurement? Leading edge? Spar?

There's not a single measurement.  The fuselage side is not parallel to the

inboard rib of the wing due to dihedral and curvature of the fuselage.  The

closest point (shortest length) is at the top of the main spar.  I am not

sure how your scheme is planned but it might be better to assemble the plane

and do your layout then.  Besides, the work of fabricating the fairings is

going to 1) ruin any paint nearby and 2) require you remove the wings again

anyway to put in nutplates.
