Hi Everyone,
Question on preparing to install wheel pants and fairings on an RV7A.... Vans instructions say to have the plane off the grount when aligning fairings and wheel pants - but I have heard second hand that these days many builders are mounting fairings and pants with an alignment based on the the plane on the ground.
Can anyone comment with first hand experience as to pro's and cons of aligning things on the ground vs having the plane off the ground? Supposively things "look better" if they are done with the plane sitting on the ground (and it will not cause airflow /alignment issues).
Thanks,
Paul
