I'm getting around to finally installing the leg fairings on the 7A. I've already fit the main gear fairings; I just haven't made provisions for attaching the the intersection fairings yet.
I'm probably going to have to mold the intersection fairing for the nose gear myself, but in the meantime, I'm clamping the bottom of it to the leg as indicated in the instructions, laying up a couple of layers of 10 oz. cloth on the inside of the bottom of the fairing.
A couple of questions:
-1- What's the secret to keeping the worm clamp from slipping down and off the fairing?
-2- Is there nothing to clamp the top to a fairing? Is it just held in place by the intersection fairing? What's to prevent the fairing from chafing against the leg? I guess that question goes to the main fairings too.
