Finish Kit

Front Wheel Fairing ( 2 hrs )

Primed Standoffs.  Marked centerline per 46A-09, Step 4.  Since Fairings are not translucent (earlier versions were prior to Vans providing now with pinhole filler primer which is opaque), I explored using provided spherical magnets to locate holes in Fairing.  Drilled #40 holes in Brackets per Step 1 at 46A-10, then glued sph magnets temporarily using drop of cyanoacrylate.  Also made spacer block per Step 2, 46A-10.  Experimented with lifting nosewheel to 0 to 1/16" off ground (results in fuselage at 2.8 deg vs level, so need to compensate -raising "tail", or ? )
spherical magnets temporarily glued to facilitate
determining location of holes in Fairing (use sph
magnets on outside)
