Started a New Plans Section today. After getting some advice from the Matronics list, I decided to to the gear fairings before mounting the engine and the wings, and after just a part of one day on the task, I can see that doing this now is going to be MUCH easier than doing it after the wings are mounted and also to a lesser extend before the engine is hung. I also got some advice about how getting these 'perfectly aligned' is more a matter of chance than skill. I'm making every effort to get them straight, but the measurements are +/- 1/16" and the fiberglass surfaces that are used as reference points are +/- 1/16-1/8", we'll see how it goes. I was happy to find that Van's had " machined the forward edge of the Rear shell on the gear faitings so that there is a CLEAN 90 degree edge to mate to, you still need to true up the fwd shell to mate to it, but this certainly makes it easier, If only the rest of the fiberglass was the same!!!! I've got both pants joined w/ cleco's and marked for enterlines, also marked the Gear attach brackets for nutplate drilling. My engine arrived........ and left today!!!!! The driver didn't have a lift gate, which is an absolute necessity to get the 500 lbs of engine crate safely off the truck, Try again tomorrow morning.
