Apr 09, 2024 Wheel Spats and Fairings Category: Fuselage
These past couple weeks I worked on getting the wheel spats installed. Nothing to exciting to report on that besides the main spats are kind of hard to determine if they are streamlined as they are not symmetrical. If I put them where I think they are straight the bolt holes will be off from intended mount locations and it looks bad. I opted to put use the stock locations even if I think it is off a little bit.

I also marked and straightened the from upper avionics fairing with the firewall.

I installed the vertical and horizontal stabilizer so I can install the empenage fairing. With that fairing installed I marked/ drilled where the rivnuts need to go. I installed the rivnuts but I ran out of time and haven't reinstalled the fairing to ensure its all good. The only snag I ran into was that the bracket that I had made for me ELT antenna was a bit to big to fit under the fairing to I removed the bracket and trimmed it down a good bit. It not fits with room to spare.
