Our RV6A has never had a fairing for the nose gear, just the mains.
We've recently repainted it, and I bought the NW fairing kit from Vans, and am in the process of installing it.
But I'm a little confused about how it goes on-and-off based on the plans. Is there some kind of slide-it-aft function, once you unscrew and remove the front half of the fairing?
On the mounting bracket as it comes from Vans, what's the point of removing the material in front of the axle-bolt, to make a slot? Isn't the mounting more secure if you leave it as a hole?
Thanks,
Dave
