More wheel fairings
There was some discussion on the forum about the Aircraft Finishing Systems primer. I prepped, primed, and installed this aluminum patch outside on my fence over 3 years ago. I cleaned it off with a rag, but it otherwise looks just like the day I put it there.
I was planning on flying down to the EAA 105 fly-in with Julie, but the weather didn’t look great. There was a slight chance of getting stuck down there due to a system moving in during the afternoon, plus it looked turbulent. Wasn’t sure Julie would enjoy the trip.
Instead I worked on the wheel fairings for a few hours in the afternoon. The left fairing is still too wide, so I added 3 more layers of fiberglass to each attachment point. Hopefully that will be enough. I also mixed up some filler to the consistency of frosting (actually started to look edible), and used it to fill the gap under the outboard bracket on the right side. I used some sticky Glad wrap (very handy stuff) to keep it from sticking to the fairing.
I almost have these wrapped up. One more session ought to do it.
