Jan 03, 2015     Wing root fairings - (3.3 hours)       Category: Wings
I trimmed both aft wing root fairings slightly so they would fit onto the airplane, then joggled both of them by using the strips shown in Photo 1, and inserting the whole thing into a vise. Next, I drilled the #30 forward attach holes, and clecoed on the forward wing root fairings. Then I began the process of pre-bending the forward fairings to the leading edge of the wings. After marking the apex of the wing's curve onto the fairing strips, I set up a length of 1-1/2" OD PVC pipe, and clamped so it hung off the end of the workbench. This made it pretty easy to work the fairings to match the wing's curve.
