Project: BuckRV-8     -     Entry

Mar 03, 2024 2.7 Gear leg fairing attachment and fit-check Category: Landing Gear
1. Sanded the gel coat off both gear leg fairings.
2. Attached both fairings to the fuselage to check their fit and assess what, if anything, I want to improve on them.
3. I noticed that the R fairing doesn't sit quite as flush to the fuselage side as the left one, but I think I'll be able to cure that with a strip of rubber U-channel grommet material around the edges after the plane is painted.

Overall, I think both fairings are acceptable. The "wing curve" on each fairing is still an unknown. I will have to work fast on the day we put the wings in place for painting -- marking the fairings for trimming, then removing them and getting them to the proper shape. This will probably be at least a week or two from now.
