Subject: | Wheel Pants Modification |
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 w
heel pants to incorporate the bottom intersections into one piece (really t
wo pieces, but one pants) Ever in fear of humiliation from the horde of ot
her RV drivers at the airport and the shame of having a inadequate and tech
nology flawed design wheel pants I suppose I need to follow suit. My questi
on is where are the divider cuts made in the RV-8 intersections when attach
ed permanently to the wheel pant? Show a photo or two would be appreciated

Hay Bill of Georgia,
Want to one up your builder friends? I am at OSH looking at fiberglass work
and figuring out how to best finish off my 8A wheel pants and saw one of the
nicest applications to date. Once you get the blended wheel pant gear leg
fairing complete as you are asking about (mine are already done and look
great) then put pant in place and cover with release then add your
concoction of micro balloons or mill fiber and resin and cover the gear leg
down low flairing out the gear leg to match the profile of the wheel pant
fairing. Then before it sets up take the back side of a hack saw blade or a
thin knife and run between the pant fairing edge and the new material you
just added. Let the resin set up. Once dry sand both (in place) till the
shapes match. You now have made a transition from the gear leg to the wheel
pant with no lip. This will also hide any chafing common at this
intersection. The end result is a nearly seamless leg to wheel pant.
I hope the description is clear enough to understand. I have photos but will
not be downloaded from my camera for a week.
One other suggestion. For non-8 specific questions I suggest you throw out
your requests to the RV list not just the 8 list as we all have to deal with
fiberglass issues regardless of the model RV.
Photo of my RV-10 wheel pant with integrated transition fairing (note split
location - top and bottom of pant).

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:
* https://fairings-etc.com/Intersection_Fairings.html
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:
