Getting ready to get the -7 painted and still have not mastered removing, installing the bottom cowl without scratching up the leg fairings or spinner area with the bottom cowl?
I have the janekom upper intersection fairings and have removed about as much gear leg fairing as possible to still keep things covered. The spinner to cowl gap is 3/16 ~ 1/4. Side of bottom cowl is piano hinge with screws in bottom and front facing sump with rubber connect to intake (good clearance in this area.)
Anyway, I expected the -7 to be easier than the old 7A but it is turning out to be the other way round.
Any ideas how to improve clearances and ease of removal / paint protection down the road?
thanks...
