Intersection Fairings ( 4 hrs )
Good news - the screws came out, and Lower Fairings separated. Per 46A-1& 2: Mounted Upper Fairings back onto Fuselage, drilled #27 holes and machine C'sunk 5 holes each (all while under Fuselage - seeing more of bottom of plane than top lately). Cut clearance for alum brake line in Leg Fairings to insure no rubbing/wear issue. Started riveting nutplates to Wheel Fairings to hold Lower Fairings per Steps 3 & 4. Wow...these Fairings sure do take some time. The Finish Kit total hours exceeds any other sub-kit significantly.
