I searched but, didn't find what I was looking for. I'm finishing my build and thought I would do the gear fairings in my garage before I go to the paint booth. My question is whether or not I can install my intersection fairings with the wings off? I have Fairing Etc. upper and lowers and a 7A.
I held the top fairings up to the belly and it looks like I should be able to install and align them using just the bottom skin that extends out past the fuselage; the molded lip on the fairing snuggles nicely into position. I'll need to make a stand to raise and level the back of the plane while using an engine hoist to lift the front. I recognize I may need to do some final fitting after I install the wings but, I can easily repaint the upper fairings afterwards, if necessary.
Have others done it this way?
Am I missing something (besides the wings)?
