Installed the gear leg fairing and wheel fairings along with nose wheel fairing and leg fairing. Although it was a relatively easy task it was time consuming to get it all aligned correctly. Put the airplane on jacks to level it for inflight attitude and aligned all fairings.
Also installed the new Matco brakes, triple puck. Wow…. They work fantastic and feel twice as good as the Grove brakes. Much better braking action with no fade.
In fight the airplane was still in trim after all the fairing and pants installed. Definite increase in speed along with the associated drop in power required to fly at the same speed without the fairing and pants.
