With only 11 hours on the finished airplane I’ve had to refinish the varnish on the prop once already. Granted, I’ve done a lot of taxiing, but the nose wheel is famous for kicking tiny pebbles up into the prop. So while the fiberglass is going, we build this.
Proper spacing is corrugated cardboard covered with duct tape and glassed over. The fender has to go all the way around until it almost touches the ground. Then all of this has to fit in the wheel well when the gear retracts. And it CAN NOT bind on it’s way down!
