Got far into nose fairing and while fitting gear leg fairing I noticed that the fairing is off-center to the left of plane. I have attached pictures. Should I re-do and or replace fairing or is it OK to leave in flight?

Matt,

   You may get different opinions on this, but if it were me I’d just open the right side of the wheel gap to match the left side and press on.  A little extra room between the tire and fairing is a good thing in case the tire pressure gets a bit low.  Besides, nobody is ever going to notice that.

Put the rear half on to see this better: is it offset, or canted left-right. If it's not straight I'd fix it. Offset only, I think I'd learn to live with it.

I'd put longer bolts and bushings in there, so that fairing gets damaged less by tow bars. It will be fine. None of them fly perfect, so don't sweat it.

I'd second that suggestion.  My plane gets handled by FBO folks a lot 

and the recessed solution really doesn't work. .  Stainless socket head 

bolts sitting on oversize washers to protect the pant works really 

well.  The specifics of that solution are in this forum.



I spent 8-9 years traveling with a  Maule whose tail wheel meant that I 

got to park it and un-park it wherever I went.  It kept hangar/handling 

rash to a minimum so I thought that's how I'd like my '10 handled.  But 

I've learned to enjoy the pleasures of good FBO service where you can 

pull up front, get help with the bags and be in and out in minutes if 

desired (Wilson Air at KCLT is consistently the best at it - plane to 

pre-cooled rental car with bags in trunk in under 6mins, smiles all around).
