A few weeks ago I tried fitting the wing root fairings for the first time, only to discover that Vans had sent me the fairings for a RV-7, rather than for a RV-9. Bugger. Not to worry, I contacted them and they duly agreed to send out the correct parts at no cost. No apology, but prompt and fiar service nonetheless.
Anyway, I recently received the parts so today started match drilling the left side fairing.
