I am curious if anyone has good pictures of the fit of their Fairings Etc. upper intersection fairings on the RV-7A that they can share. Some specific questions I have are
1) How do they fit out of the box? I seem to have a gap at the right outboard front.
2) Did they align well with the gear leg alignment? I'm confident my gear fairings are aligned well via the string, but the intersection fairing airfoil doesn't perfectly align with the gear leg fairing when it is pushed up into place on the "step" of the fuse. I'm worried that it may cause some twist in the gear leg by not being fully aligned. Bob mentioned that some builders don't even do the string method and instead just rely on the intersection fairings?
3) Did you use the single #4 screw / tab arrangement as the permanent solution to close the rear of the fairing, or did you replace it with something more robust?
