I am at the point where I am starting to dry fit the wheel, leg and transition fairings to my RV-7. I am using fairings-ect transition fairings.
It looks to me that in order to get the bottom engine cowl off. I will have to :
1) take the fuse/leg transition fairing off. The cowl looks like it will not clear the leg fairing (I guess this is the big question). So I will have to:
2) take the leg fairing off. The leg fairing will is secured by the wheel pant fairing. So I will have to:
3) take the front wheel pant fairing off.
So essentially to get to the bottom cowl off, I have to take all of the fairing off except the rear wheel fairing. Please tell me that I have inhaled too much fiberglass and this is not how it works.
Bonus question: After paint, how do you remove all off the various fiberglass parts without trashing the paint job?
