I'm currently 3/4's of the way through my 25 hour test period and was working on my wheel pant installation and have a question. The drawings show an approximate hight of mid point the wheel pants as being 8 5/8 inches with the plane in the level flight attitude. Mine works out to 7 1/4 inches with the one inch spacing from the top of the tire to the inside edge of the top of wheel pant. The tire is blown up to 30 psi and I know the wheels have been some what depressed by the weight of the plane. Is this hight acceptable or should I raise the wheel pant a little higher ? What has been your experience ?
