I just started flying my 8 in April, and flew for the first 15-20 hours without the wheel pants. After I installed them, I noticed the plane wants to pull to the left. What is the best way to correct it, and how do I figure out which one I installed crooked? I don't have the intersection fairings on yet, just the gear leg fairings and wheel fairings.
Just to clarify, all the measuring should be done with the plane hanging level, and the gear relaxed, correct? It is easy to find the center of the back of the fairing, but not so easy to find the center of the front.
Do I fix this before the intersection fairings are fitted, or do those first?
The plane seemed to fly straight before the wheelpants, so I think it is the wheelpants causing the problem.
Thanks, Lance
