Title: Wheelpant filler, seams, joggles, nutplates, and profiling.
1. Began working on fixing the seams at the top of the gear leg fairings, which have opened up slightly since they were installed. I will probably also tighten up the fore & aft gaps a bit while I'm at it. 2. The gear leg fairings had slight misalignments when they were installed on the airplane, so I decided to add some small alignment joggles, like I did on the wheel pants. I cut small strips of 0.032" aluminum and flush-riveted them to the edge of the fairing. They work perfectly. 3. Upsized the outboard axle-support holes in each faring to #8, and did the same on the axle supports themselves. 4. Drilled the R inboard wheel pant bracket for #8 nutplates. 5. Re-profiled the L wheelpant to get rid of a slight ridge on the inboard top side. 6. Filled several divots on the trailing edge of the wheelpants. 7. Primed all the parts for a final look.
