Brief Description:  Landing Gear Fairing #11

Tonight I riveted the U-808 brackets into the aft half of the wheel pants and then focused on the left landing gear fairing. With the "custom" fitting of the Rocket landing gear fairing to the Grove gear legs, I will use expanding foam to fill the gap and secure the fairing around the leg once aligned. I wrapped the landing gear leg with packing tape running length-wise and then applied secured four zip-ties around the left leg and reinstalled the fairing to test the initial fit. I removed the left wheel and brake calipers to make the hinge pin insertion easier.
