A friend here just used 3m-5200. I am watching and learning........
waiting for them to test :)
Years ago I worked at a boat dealership and was amazed
when the bolts were removed from an outboard and the motor remained
on the transom. (V-6 mercury) and it was not just once this took place.
3m-5200 was used

Just a thought, but are you sure you have the left gear on the left side of
the airplane? With the thing upside down and all when you drilled and
installed the legs, it could happen. Just my two cents worth.

Ulf:
You'll probably get different answers to this, but I feel strongly that you
should use NO adhesive between the canopy and the skirt. The pop rivets
will hold it in place quite securely and adhesives have an unpredictable
propensity to react witht he plastic canopy, causing cracks, crazing and
other kinds of mischief.

Michle,
I've already ordered my fairing. The products I've seen in the past from
Bob Snedaker were excellent quality. His designs add flair to the airframe.
I
like his designs. I will likely order gear leg and wheel pant fairings also.

Listers - I am most interested in saving time at some expense by getting
ready made fairings for my RV8. Could some of you guys comment positive or
negative on your experience with www.fairings-etc.com.
