      >Hello Fellow RV-8 Builders, I'm about finished making my intersections and my
      hanger mate, the ever evil and diabolical Neil, just modified his RV-9 wheel pants
      to incorporate the bottom intersections into one piece (really two pieces,
      but one pants)  Ever in fear of humiliation from the horde of other RV drivers
      at the airport and the shame of having a inadequate and technology flawed design
      wheel pants I suppose I need to follow suit. My question is where are the
      divider cuts made in the RV-8 intersections when attached permanently to the
      wheel pant?  Show a photo or two would be appreciated, Bill of Georgia RV-8A,
      N288WP, 10 Hrs into Phase l and trying to finish the legs and wheel pants 
      
      
      Hi Bill,
      
      I don't quite follow what you're asking.  But, do yourself a huge favor and surf
      over to Bob Snedaker's "Fairing Etc" web site and order up a pair of upper and
      lower intersection fairings.  You'll be glad you did.  They fit exceptionally
      well and reduce the amount of time spent significantly.  More importantly,
      when you're done, you'll have an exacting shape match between the left and right
      sides.  Here's a link to Bob's site:

      Here's a step by step of how I did my RV-8 lower fairings using Bob's parts.  13

      Later, I redid the wheel pants and made a blister for the brake caliper which made
      them fit a LOT better.  I highly recommend this modification.  11 log entries:
