Brief Description: Fitting Side Skirts 3: Skirt Issue
Well I've ordered two pieces of 0.032 aluminum cut into 2 pieces 3" X 30". Why
First I taped the skirt into place. I examined my holes to make sure they would hit the side rails in a good place and I discovered at the aft end my holes just grazed the rail. Well that's no good.
Then I looked at the front and there is a triangle gap. This gap is just built in or designed in. It bugs me. The airplanes I looked at at EAA flyin had this gap. Some tried to fix it with what looked like fiber glass filler.
So, I had a brillant idea. Shift the skirt forward to hide this gap, and that would also bring the aft holes forward to hit the rail.
