Aug 11, 2019     Drilled gear leg fairing - (2 hours)       Category: Landing Gear
Having used the plumb bobs to make sure the gear leg fairing is properly aligned, I drilled the two holes into the gear leg that holds it in place, then tapped the holes.

Drilling into a rounded piece of steel sucks. You try to do the best you can but match drilling through fiberglass first is bound to enlarge THAT hole. I thought I had the two holes aligned with each other (I think it was 7" from the winch bracket) but they're slightly mismatched.

Then I mixed up epoxy and shoved it in the hole to create the "disk" inside (presumably to make it easy to align with the hole when taking the fairing off and on.
