Machine C'sunk for 2 lower screws retaining Nose Gear Leg Fairing. Achieved 1/8" clearance to Wheel Fairing after several iterations to mark-trim-remount ...& repeat. (aaargghhhh...just cautious to not trim to much). Per 46A-18, lifted wheel off ground via engine so "steered" nose wheel full left and right. So.... needed more clearance in 2 locations per side...so repeated...again. Finally! Started Main Wheel Leg Fairings Steps 1-5 at 46A-19. Essentially same process as Nose Gear Leg Fairing. Trimmed inner and outer ends after drill & cleco T.E. Cut hinges to 25".
