 |
|
I have spent the last few hours and days working on the wheel pants for the main gear.
I laser with a level on it is in my opinion a must. Even with all that hardware to aid the builder C the job of these pants is a real pain in the arss.
I am quite surprised as usual that the parts don't have pre marked pionts which indicate their centerline at the ends C front and back. The front half didn't fit well with the rear half and the 90 joggle was not in a straight circumference. Contour was not true at the intersection either.
What I am asking is whether most people that have done this section found that the outside hex extendion intersection with the faring is actually at the intersection between the front and the rear pieces of the fairing as is indicated by the manual. With my faring all line up with the laser C my extension's center point is about 3/8" aft of the front/rear seem. As long as everything seems to fit and is lined up with the aircraft centerline and level with the plane C does any one see a reason why I can't locate the attachment there. By putting it there would mean that the front half of the faring wouldn't have a 1/2 inch C half whole on its rear edge.
What have others found?

My screw hole is aft of the intersection with the front edge of the whole right on the intersection. I can take the front of the fairing off without removing the screw.
Hope that helps.

John,
I think you're supposed to use that location on the outside, but
move the inside locations to line it up, aren't you? Just going
by memory.
But, my main reply is....you aren't really going to use the hex
piece, are you?

No C I have your nice machined piece of aluminum extension C but still makes a whole and a screw that goes through it.
