Brief Description: Wheel alignment checked, more work on wheel pants
Played with the wheel fairings to get tmore ground clearance. Decided that the Sam James metod of fixing the fairings to the outer wheel hub bolt worked better, and didnt distort the wheel fairings. Checked alignment and all perfect, but 10mm more ground clearance.
Got a response from Flo at Grove about the toe-in, and she stressed the importance of lifting the tail to the in-flight attitude. Did so by tying the tail to the 20kg weight, and allowing the weight of the engine to lift the tail. Checked toe-in again and absolutley perfect alignement! Saved me $120 on shims, so a good result.
Made the gear leg fairings and fixed the trailing edge hinge fixation. trimmed the trailing edge to a gentle curve, and looks nice.
Epoxied the internal mud guards into place. Some more reinforcement of the screw holes needed, before I countersink them and use Tinnerman washers to provide more strength.
