Gents,
I am doing some final trimming of my nose gear wheel pant and leg fairing. I wanted to get recommendations on the appropriate gap from those who have been flying their RV-6A/7A/8A's and have lots of landings (good and bad ones).
1. What is the recommend gap between side lip of the nose wheel pant and the side of the tire?
2. What is the recommend gap between front and back lip of the nose wheel pant and the tire?
3. What is the recommend gap between the wheel pant and the leg fairing. Plans call for 3/16" but that seems a bit to small when the nose gear flexes.
Thanks for your help.
