Finish Kit

Wheel Fairing flox ( 2 hrs )

Removed Fairings after flox cured.  Relieved they came off relatively easy, except one of four hung up due to excess flox rolling over edge.  All 8 surfaces turned out OK, which is relief since essentially positioned blindly.   Ground off excess with dremel.  Started nutplates per Sect 46A-07 Steps 5-9.
RH with Aft Fairing installed.  Can see white
flox where Bracket interfaces with Fairing
Example result epoxy/flox mix on Fwd Fairing.  Smooth area is Bracket contact area.  Green is Turtle wax used as mold release.

First nutplate added between Aft and Fwd Fairing shells. 
Shows Aft contact area on left, and Fwd contact area on right.
