REFLECTOR: Canard CW fairings

[Don Johnston]

I made my counterweight fairings permanent. I inserted some foam and bonded
them in place and then covered them with a layer of BID. Then I discovered
that I needed additional weights on the outboard so I had to "add" to the
fairing. :-(

Here's my entry on increasing the fairing:

   I'm curious how most folks have been attaching the Canard Counterweight
Fairings. My manual says nothing. The on-line manual says put into place
with silicone once painting is done. I suppose that would work, but wouldn't
it look better to blend them in permanently with a layer of BID?


   My old kit also came with big-ole lower bolt hole covers for the wing.
These look like reverse scoops. Seems like it would look cleaner to cover
them the same way as the TOP bolt hole cover (thin painted metal teardrop,
siliconed into place.


   Input?


   Thanks, Kurt
