Just as a question (I'm getting real close to doing the fiberglass,) has
anyone tried the safety wire type clamp on the gear leg fairing? I made
one of the clamp-makers after seeing one at Oshkosh last year. It clamps
as good as any hose clamp and of course they are very light and
inexpensive, once you have the machine. Since they don't stick up at all,
I would think they would work really well in this application, but I
haven't tried them on fiberglass. Putting them on takes some space for the
machine, but I doubt if this is an issue. Two or three double loops should
hold anything.
If you haaven't seen one of these devices, I found one at
