| Began on the gear leg fairings. First step is to align the trailing edge and the to insure right angles on each end of each leg. Then |
|
| cut out the template and transfer the cutout lines to each leg fairing, and cut the ends off. Once that's cleaned up, then the next |
|
| step is to rivet the piano hinge to the trailing edge of each leg fairing. I'ts pretty much following the plans. the plans don't say |
|
| which hinge to use and I had several that were candidates. I looked in the Cowling section and found that they called out a |
|
| specific material hinge to use and so I used the other ones, as I haven't done my cowl yet. Seems like all of these steps are |
|
| taking more time than I think they should. the Left leg took twice the time as the right, too bad I'm not building 2 planes at the |
|
| same time, the 2nd would go a lot faster !!! (Just kidding, it's going to be all I can muster to get this ONE done!) . Nest step is the |
|
| intersectin fairings. I'm debating whether I want to attach the pant fairing per the plane (w/ nutplates or do what Vis syracuse did |
|
| and split the fairing and flox/fiberglass it to the respective pant halves. I've got the weekend to think about it. |
