 Posted: Sat Sep 19, 2009 3:12 pm Post subject: Gear lef fairing scribe lines |
 |
|
Waiting for the skim coat on the last of my emp fairings (top of the rudder, pictures here - http://rvnewsletter.blogspot.com/2009/09/few-tips.html) to cure, I figured I'd start working on the gear leg fairings. Winter is coming and fiberglass epoxy and 10 below temps don't work so well in an unheated hangar.
As usual, I ran into a problem right at the beginning. It references cutting out the template and using the molded scribe line to locate it on the fairing.
For the life of me, I cannot find anything on either of the gear leg fairings that looks like a scribe line.
What's the secret here?

Bob,

Did you use the templates on DWG C3 ( I think it was C3, might've been C2). Apparently you line it up with a scribe line, find the line for your model, and use that to trim.

Bob, I scratched my head on this too. I ended up just centering the paper template on the fairings (end to end) and cut both ends to the template. Mine turned out great.
BTW, not sure if you are using Van’s intersection fairings but I bought the fairings from Fairings Etc. and they were perfect!

I cut the template and positioned it were I thought it should go. However, there are six RVs within a few hundred feet of my hanger, and I was able to pull the pants and intersection fairings off and make a few measurements.
