Today, I shot a quick coat of some high build primer on all the intersection fairing parts. Once the primer cured, I gave them a quick rubdown with some 400 grit wet. The fairings are looking great, and I don’t think they are going to need any more work until it’s time for the final finish coating. There are some pinholes in the fiberglass that will need to be filled if I paint the plane, but lately, I’ve been contemplating covering the plane with a complete vinyl wrap. According to the company that does the wraps, the pinholes in these pictures are no problem! If the vinyl works out, that’ll be a huge amount of labor savings!
Final total hours to build the gear leg fairings: 43.25
I think this would have gone a bit faster, but because of other things going on with life, I ended up splitting this work into a lot of short sessions. If I had had more dedicated time, it would have gone quite a bit quicker…
