Has anyone done anything about the gap where the gear leg goes through the
wing fairing?

Subject: | Re: gear leg gap |
Al,
Since I have not finished my project yet I hesitate to say anything but I d
id fabricate a gear fairing using foam and fiberglass.=C2- I can show you
the installed photos yet but you can see my steps and what the finished fa
irings will look like on my web page.=C2- The only thing remaining is to
split the fairings for installation and add the screws.=C2- (OH and paint
which seems to be my damnation.)
(LandingGearFairing.html)
Hope this helps.

Subject: | Re: gear leg gap |
Alfred,
In my KIS I started flying with the gap roughly the same size as yours.A ye
ar later, after a lot of flying, I checked the gear and I found =C2-the f
iberglass ground away a millimeter or so of aluminum from the gear.The gear
flexes quite a bit depending on the load and somehow the aluminum gear get
s in contact with the fiberglass,I increased the gap and I did a lot of gri
nding on the gear to make =C2-its thickness even.I do not know if the sam
e abrasion will happen with your gear, but it might.Watch the paint on the
gear =C2-when you start flying if there are any signs of contact. Or incr
ease the gap a little.I do not know if =C2-this gap creates a significant
drag.=C2-I made fairings for the front gear and that made a few miles in
speed.=C2-

Yes the gap I have is probably not big enough to clear the flexing of the ge
ar. We will see with time.

Nice job Bob. I don't know the feasibility of screwing it stationary to the
bottom since the gear will flex dramatically. Maybe best to leave them off
.
