Brief Description: Fuselage gaps seals, flap fairings
|
|
I did some work on the fuselage gap seals. installing the rubber seals on both fairings as best I could. At the very least, I have proven to myself that a 1/4" gap between the fairing the fuselage might actually work. Prior to this, I did not believe it. The keys to getting the rubber gasket installed are to be patient, push hard, and try not to curse loud enough to wake the neighbors. The gaskets will still require a bit of trimming and fitting before they fit to my satisfaction.
Next, I dimpled the R flap fairing and the matching fuselage skin, then scuffed, cleaned and primed the fairing.
Finally, I spent some time working on my old "flaps-up" microswitch installation, which will require some modification thanks to the way I have my flaps rigged. More details and photos later.
