I've fit the wheel pants per the plans, with the plane in level attitude.
When I set the tail back down, I have what seems to be very little clearence
between the ground and the aft half of the fairing. The aft corner is only
1.6" above the ground, and there is maybe .75" clearance near the tire.
Will this survive a firm landing or an unkept grass strip? I guess raising
the fairing higher than the 1" above the top of the tire is the answer.
What have others done?

Larry,
My fairings may have a bit more ground clearance than yours, but I
wouldn't want them any lower than they are. I've been on some fairly
rough strips, and have beat them up, but haven't lost them (yet). I've
scraped them up a bit taxiing off paved runways onto the grass parking
areas at flyins. You can walk down to my hangar and look at them anytime.
