Fuselage August 2008 Updates August 23, 2008 Sideskirts and New Fairings Delivered.... - 2.0 hrs My Fairings Inc order showed up today. Talk about quality fiberglass work. This stuff is for fiberglass what Vetterman is for exhausts. They say its trim to fit but it is really almost there. The fit to the existing lines of the VS and HS is nice and tight. Just a few trims here and there and it should be ready to drill and screw into place. All I could really check for fit now is the empenage piece but its thicker than the vans stuff and a nice smooth finish. After that excitement I put the side skins on and double checked for opening clearance one more time. looks pretty good so far. Tomorrow I will mark the first line and drill in place. Last I sanded the VS tip a bit more and fit it in place. Its ready to drill and rivet.
