      Morning all,
      
      Fitting up my wheelpants and noticed from the drawing that you have to
      lift the plane off its gear so the tires are off the ground. I have one
      trolley jack and its not immediately apparent how I would do this?
      
      I notice what sounds like a fairly involved procedure to align the leg
      fairings...probably cus I didn't understand it on the first read
      through...Can anyone expain a simple procedure?
      
      I am thinking of using #6 screws and C/s washers rather than rivets to
      mount the pants..Any reason why not?
      
      Looks like a fair bit of work but I'd like to get everything done before
      I take the plane to the hangar.
      
      Thanks
      Frank
      RV7a..Final engine connections, bodywork, paint..Sell other
      airplane...and fly..:)

      Hi frank,
      
      the idea is to lift the airplane clean of the ground supported by trestles 
      or similar. Align the main fairings to the centrelign of the aircraft. You 
      can measure from centreline outboard on both sides and mark your H-stab. Use 
      a piece of string over the centre of the pant and align with your mark on 
      the h-stab. Now set the horizontal alignment. Pilot drill with 3/32 and use 
      a cleco this way you have some leeway of adjustment. The holes in the pants 
      can be filled with a little epoxy adhesive should you get it wrong. (but we 
      never make any mistakes).
      
      hope this helps.
