The objective is to be able to sight through each wheel pant and
see the other wheel pant axle hole lined up in the "sight". The process
is iterative until you can confirm that a bullet fired along the
sightline through each wheel pant will go right thru the opposite wheel
pant axle holes. At this point you have 0 toe-in and 0 camber, which is
what you want. Some minor trimming of the wheel pant may be necessary so
that the wheel pant fits flush against the canard.
.....
Remove the wheel pant and laminate 1 BID along the top of the wheel
pant where it will come into contact with the canard shear web or canard
lower skin upon assembly. Be sure that the match between the wheel pant
and canard is good prior to glassing, to avoid using considerable flox
to fill the voids. Peel Ply the lamination.
.....
When the lamination is cured, mount the wheel pants with flox to
the canard, being sure to achieve good flox squeeze out. (First removing
the peel ply, of course.) Before the joining gets tacky, be sure to
recheck and then recheck again the alignment of the two wheel pants
through the axle holes. Now is your last chance to affect that
alignment. When satisfied, use lumber and 5-MIN to attach the wheel pant
to the canard while the flox is curing.
.....
Next, turn the canard over and jig it right side up, being careful
not to alter the alignment of the wheel pants.
.....
You are now ready for the fun part, contouring the wheel pant!
