Brief Description: Began wheel pant prep and installation
Today was devoted to trimming and fitting the two piece wheel pant assemblies. The fiberglass moldings are good but they still require quite a bit of trimming and sanding to get a neat fit between the halves. Once the fit is good it's time to match drill and install the seven nutplates in each fairing. I then countersunk the nose pieces and secured with the flush head screws called out in the plans. I may revisit the counter sinking at a later date when the pants are prepped for painting.
The assemblies should be ready to install on the main gear.
