Finish Kit

Wheel Fairings ( 4 hrs )

Cont'd working on Wheel Fairings.  Riveted 8 nutplates to 4 Brackets per Sect 46A-04 & -05.  Then mounted to Main Gear Legs.  Started trimming Wheel Fairings per 46A-02, Steps 1-5.  Created a ton of fiberglass dust following Van's instructions "remove material that prevents the halves from matching smoothly" and "take time to precision fit wheel fairing halves". 
Mach C'sunk then riveted on nutplates

Lots of grinding to improve overlap fit. 
And trim to scribed lines

Only 1 of 2 "done", but progress
