Hey all... I bought a set of intersection fairings from Fairings, Etc., and am looking for ideas on how to attach them at the top...

I think I am going to make the fairings part of the gear leg fairing at the top and attach it to the fuse, and make the lower fairings part of the wheel pants...

Any suggestions and photos would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks!
-Bill

Hi Bill!
I also bought a set of upper and lower intersection fairings for my 8, but had to EXTENSIVELY modify them for proper fit. The lower fairings are attached (epoxy/micro bonded) to the pants. The upper fairings fit snugly over the gear leg fairing and are attached to my fuselage with two nut plates fwd and one rivnut on the aft. They are quite solid.
I'm not sure if this will work for an 8A, but if you'd like I'll take some photos and send them to you.

Bill,

Don't remember which aircraft you have. Do you have the two piece aluminum gear leg fairings or the one piece fiberglas?
I have the one piece fiberglass main gear leg fairing on 6A. The main gear top intersection fairings are attached to the fuse at the top and not attached to the gear leg fairing. There is considerable movement between the gear leg fairing and the top intersection fairing when the main gear flexes.
Same is true for the bottom. Need to keep some movement possible.

You have beaucoup resources at 00V Bill. I suspect that if you attach
the upper fairings at two points then gear leg movement may cause
something to crack (fiberglass part).

The lower attachment method I believe was done by Wolfie next door
to where you used to hanger your airplane.
