 |
|
For those flying the nose draggers with an intersection fairing
attacthed to the cowl, have you found you need some space between the
front of the fairing and gear leg fairing for stretch/movement of leg on
landing? I have it pretty tight right now but am thinking a hard
landing will flex the leg and crack the fairing.
Thanks

Jeff, I had a hard enough landing to require replacing the main landing gear
in my Rv-6A and the front gear did not damage the fairing at all. YMMV

Yes.
My upper nose gear fairing rubs against the leg fairing and though not damaged, it does scuff the paint off. This would have been prevented had I the foresight to place a few hundred pounds of weight in the cockpit to simulate gross weight conditions prior to locating and installing that fairing. At the least, prior to locating the fairing permanently, I suggest positioning it so that some gap exists between it and the forward nose of the leg fairing when the plane is empty and at rest.
