 Posted: Sun Jun 12, 2011 6:08 pm Post subject: Wheel Fairing/ Plane Leveling Question |
 |
|
I'm getting ready to install the wheel pants. The directions say to raise the plane do the wheels are 1/16" off the ground and level longitudinally and laterally. To get it level longitudinally, the nose wheel is 1/16", but the mains are about 2" off the ground. I am leveling to the F-1015C mid cabin deck.
Is this what others have seen?
Just wanna make sure I'm not missing something... Don't want to be misaligned and slow my bird down!!

Sounds right.
Since you are assembled and flying, this may not be feasible.

With nosewheel removed, there's only the need to jack the main gear off
a minimal distance.
BTW, I found a simple laser line shot from tail forward provides a great
centerline. You can actually split the rivets on the fuse and split the
nose gear. Then used a piece of angle iron on the floor. The angle
iron was heavy enough not to move while hitting it repeatedly with the
measuring tape.
Knee pads will be good too.

Yep, did the nose wheel fairing last night. Jacked up the plane, leveled it (with wheels on) and shot a laser picking up the tail centerline rivets, nose gear, and floor projection of the centerline. Got it all drilled and clecoed last night, hope to finish it tonight.
Then off to the main wheel fairings.... Knee pads would have been nice!!

Just because you have leveled the plane does not make the floor level. Use your geometry, lasers and measuring tape to line everything up. Use wood shims to level things and provided these pics of using right angle measures, clamps and a wood block with a drill bit to hold the wheel faring in place while drilling. It takes a lot of time, but it should be worth it.
