I can't find any comments on Tim's or Deems site about how you construct the upper leg intersection fairing.

Are you applying the 2 layers of glass to each one?  If so, are you doing it on the plane?  If so, how are you holding it to the fuselage while applying the glass?



I have trimmed the fairings and drilled the 4 holes and clecoed them to the fuselage.  I am happy so far.  Now how do you add the glass while the clecos are holding the fairing in place?

I built them up with additional layers of glass before fitting to the 

fuse. here's a link to a photo album:

I later decided to attach the lower intersection fairings directly to 

the wheel pants, Additional pictures:

I didn't like the way the Van's uppers fit, so we built our own.

 Make sure you max the tape prior to applying the glass.

Hi Don,



what is the name of the blue stuff that you used to model the fairing with?

Clay...... wife bought it at Michael's.  Easy to form, not as easy to get it all off.... but that doesn't matter much.... after you get off what you can, use a heat gun.... but don't burn the glass.... it kind of rolls right off.

Deems,

I saw those to pages but didn't read them slow enough the first time.  It 

is falling into place.  This is the last thing to do construction wise.  Now if I

can just get the Feds out.  They are scheduled this next week and I hope

to be taking off exactly one week from now.  SUBJECT TO CHANGE! 

Thanks all.

You can also get blue foam insulation from Lowes or other building 

supply places.  My Home Depot didn't have it.  It's messy, but I think 

it'll dissolve with gasoline.
