After seeing a couple of pictures of builders that integrated their lower gear leg intersection fairings into their main gear wheel |
|
pants. I decided that I'd go back and redo mine. So with the main gear halves screwed together, I screwed on the intersection |
|
fairings, marked where the split lines should be, and then removed them and split/cut them with a Dremel cut-off wheel. I used |
|
some fine line tape to mark the cut line, but got distracted for a moment and when I returned I enede up cutting one of them on |
|
the WRONG SIDE of the TAPE !@$#$#@%$%!E@$#!!!!!!!!. Oh Well, so Idid a quick repaie using some flox and a sinlgle ply |
|
glass patch on each side of the cut (fortunately I didn't cut all of the way through). I put the patch under the halogen lights while |
|
working on the cowl, and the other gear fairing. Using a combo of the old nuplates and screws that are there to hold on the |
|
fairing, I mixed up some flox.cabosil and attached both of the intersection fairings to their respective gear pants. I also floxed |
|
closed the aft seam which had previously been open to allow for intstallation . On the nose leg fairing, I needed to cut out a small |
|
portion at the top where it interferred with the center brace from the cowl, and also needed to patch a miss drilled hole. |
