This weekend I fitted the Van's empanage fairing and it fit great!
From everything I have read this is not normal and I'm wondering if it is because of how I fitted the thing.
Here is what I did.
When examining the fairing I realized there was a small part line on the top where Van's took the original fairing and added around 1/2" to it. I could even see where the original was cut to fit around the elevator torque tubes.
I marked these lines with my Sharpie and trimmed the thing along those lines and low and behold, it fit just great.
The question is, is this normal or did I just get lucky?
(I'll post pictures on my web site later.)
