November 30, 2008 - Gear Leg Fairings

Although I won't install the gear leg fairings and wheel pants until after the RV is flying and engine is broken in, I decided to get a head start on them.  I studied the instructions and drawings for an hour while watching the NY Giants beat up on the Deadskins, then got to work.

I first made sure they were straight and not twisted. 

    
Then I traced out the template from the C3 drawing.
    
The fairing with the template taped on.
    
I cut the fairing ends per the template with the trusty Dremel tool. 
    
Next I fashioned the hinge to the correct length and marked where the rivet holes should go.
