Feb 29, 2024 2.8 Upper gear leg fairings; L wheel pant final fit check Category: Wheel Pants
1. Marked the attach pin for the exhaust ramp and trimmed it so it will fit inside the R upper gear leg fairing.
2. Planned the installation of the upper gear leg fairings. Attached both gear attach cover plates. Screwed the upper fairings together and taped them in position on their respective gear legs. Planned how the fairings can be most easily attached, and I decided that two carefully-placed #8 screws should hold them in position -- one going through the fuselage skin with a rivnut, and another screwed into a nutplate in the gear attach plate itself.
3. Put on the L wheelpant to check its fit and decide if there's anything else I need to do to it. I might end up adding some flox to the very top seam, where the wheelpant fairing meets the gear leg.
