Brief Description:  More Work on Upper Gear Fairings

Removed the upper gear fairings from cuing and trimmed and sanded excess fiberglass and flox.

Reinstalled the upper fairings and determined areas that still needed some fiberglass work. The leading edge of the left fairing had some issues of bumps and flat spots on the leading edge radius so I mixed some flox and spread some along the leading edge. I then took a couple pieces of fiberglass and laid them over the flox and got the radius shaped as it needed to be.

The right side still had a gap and the edges needed to be matched up a bit more so I reworked the trailing edge using flox and several strips of fiberglass.

I placed peel ply on them and walked away to let them cure.
