“No bird ever flew nonstop from New York to Tokyo, or raced 15 miles high at triple the speed of sound.                                                                                                   
  Birds do something else.   They do not conquer the air; they romance it..”

Finalising the passenger side gear leg.  Rivetted the second line fixing the hinge to the fairing. Then cut the fingers on the top. In the image the location of the fingers is drawn and initial holes for the end are drilled. Using a dremel with small cutting disc I cut the 2 slots up to the drilled hole.

Then cutt off the rear of the fairing up to the line as defined by the paper template earlier on.

Fingers cut and sanded

The manual also states you have to file some notchers 1/16th deep in the edges of the fairing at the gearleg centerline marks on top and bottom.

Test fitting of the right side gear leg.

Both legs temporarily installed. It's a nice view. I think I'm ready to move on the the wheel pants now. The final alignment will be done when those are done and the airplane is off the ground in "flying modus".
