Brief Description:  Gear Leg Fairings

48-8, Steps 3 & 4

Place the trimmed U-1017A-L Gear Leg Fairing on the gear leg. Clamp the trailing edge closed with two or three spring clamps. Check the reference tape to be sure the gear leg fairing is not twisted. Adjust the position of the fairing to align the gear leg centerline marks with the gear leg centerline. The lower end of the gear leg fairing should sit nearly flush on the U-1057-L Wheel Fairing. Some variation may occur depending on how accurately the wheel fairing was aligned and the gear leg fairing was trimmed. In subsequent steps the gear leg fairing will be more accurately aligned but for now trim only as needed to generally seat the gear leg fairing onto the wheel fairing. Remove the gear leg fairing from the gear leg.

Remove the hinge pin from the U-l017B Gear Leg Fairing Hinge. Trim the hinge material to the length shown. The hinge will initially overhang each end by about 1" to help clamp the hinge to the fairing. Reinsert the hinge pin. Mark but do not drill the rivet locations on each of the hinge segments. Offset the rivet locations on the opposite hinge by 1/8" to prevent the clecos from interfering with one-another. When drilling the hinge to the fairing the fastener location marks will be visible through the translucent fairing.
