This afternoon I worked again on the nosewheel fairing. First I drilled the brackets for the nutplates, then I countersunk, deburred and sanded them.
Then I drilled the fairing's hoels to size. I had some problems countersinking the holes on the side as there is not much thickness. I'll do some small repairs when finishing the fiberglass work and also use coutersunk rivets to spread the loads.
Then I draw the cutting lines for the opening for the tyre. Still a lot to cut off, but it will be done another time so as not to put too much dust in the workshop (weather makes it impossible to do the cutting outside).
Then I begin the installation of the gear leg fairing. A lot of small adjustments to make to get a good result. I still have to install the piano hinge.
