Now that I am working on the Wheel and gear fairings, I am wondering how the front intersection fairing is going to cope with the movement of the gear leg relative to the bottom of the cowl. The leg flexes at the top but the bottom cowl is quite a bit lower than that. Will the fairing be made with clearance, fore/aft, to allow the gear leg to move up and down? Pictures please!
Also I see that some people split the Intersection fairings of the main wheels in half and attach one half to the front and one half to the rear part of the wheel fairing. Van?s instructions are for making a one-piece fairing. How do you split the two halves if you go for the first option?
How is the top, main gear, intersection fairing attached? I assume plate nuts, but are they installed on the fuselage or on the gearleg fairing? Please post us your pictures.
