Gavin,
I faired in my gear legs by covering the gear leg and the wing area with
clear packing tape. Then hot glued foam and sanded it to shape. Covered
the foam with two layers of glass. Two days later I worked the faring
loose and slid it down the gear leg and removed the foam from the insi

Is it really necessary to have clearance between the fairing and the wing? I
have ours glassed to the wing with a clearance around the leg. In fact, I
would like to have had more clearance around the leg, but I am hoping this
will do.

HI All,
I've been glassing the underside of my wing stubs and the inside of my wing
tanks today, wow that vinyl ester is awful to work with (sticky).
I have a question about where my Diehl type gear legs enter the stub. I'll need
to fair the legs in a bit, Do most make these fairings removable or
To get a really clean line, glass the fairing from the leg to the bottom of
the wing skin. Once that is done, take a hack saw and cut just through the
skin completely around the fairing. This separates the leg from the stub
wing skin and allows for flexing so that you do not destroy the fairing.
