 Posted: Thu Sep 20, 2007 4:06 am Post subject: Landing gear fairing cuff |
 |
|
I didn't build my -6, so I hope one of you can help me. The fiberglass cuff that closes the gap between the landing gear leg fairing and the fuselage. are held in place by a spring and wire attachment. I assume it was part of the original build plan. One of these springs broke and I replaced with a similar looking hardware store spring. It did not last one flight. Can anyone Identify the spring and a source? Thanks

It would not have been part of the original kit and is a design area left up to the builder.
Ace hardware in the aviation section is probably a good choice for replacement springs.
Best,

I use two bolts with platenuts to hold mine on. One in front and one
on the side. Seems to work well and are easy to take off.

Thanks for the info. I was hoping someone would tell me what they did if
not the spring.
