I am donig the bottom of the inner wings. I have a trike undercarrage with the legs on the rear of the front spar. Do I leave any clearance between the leg & the foam/fibreglass, is there any flexing & if so how much clearance do I leave. Or what have others done. Mnay thanks Robin. N.Z.
-------------------------------------------------------------- Robin, Dan Diehl told me several years ago that the movement of the gear leg at the bottom of the wing skin would be several 0.001 inch and progressive bending to several inches at the wheel end depending on the gross weight, hard landing, bumps, etc. I am using the gear leg fairings at the bottom of the wing skin; purchased these from Dan also. These fairings are glued to the wing skin with RTV and sliding touch the gear leg. They flex with the gear leg. The fairings close up the rough hole that the gear legs have at the wing skin. I was not concerned about the clearance at the rough hole. Clearance between the wing skin and gear leg is about 1/2-inch at the closest point.
