Aug 28, 2022 .5 Gear leg cover prep and fit Category: Finishing
One of the things that's interesting about the RV-12iS instructions compared to the old RV-7A book is few things have a name anymore. Take this example from 38iS/U-10:

"Slide the WD-01214-L-1 & -R-1 through the F-01273-L-1 & -R-1, and attach them to the WD-1215-L & -R as shown"

Everything is a number.

Here's the next step.

"Separate the F-01275G-1 into left and right parts by removing the shaded areas shown in Figure 2."

Sure. But what the heck is it? Well, it's a cover that goes underneath the gear leg. "Gear leg cover" would work. More and more I find myself having to look up what numbers are.

Take the next step for example:

"Rivet the F-01275G-L-1 to the F-01273-L-1, and F-01276-1 using the rivets called out in Figure 3. The bent flange is positioned on top of the F-01276-1."

Personally, I'd rather "rivet the gear leg cover. to the side skins. Slide the gear leg cover under the bottom skin."

But that's just me.

Anyway I did that today.
