I am waiting to install my gear leg and wheel fairings until after I have flown the first few hours.  I want to first ensure the airframe itself is as true as I can get it.  If I have a slight roll to the right for example, I will know the airplane causes it and will be able to then correct it.  If the fairings were installed already, I wouldn’t know if it was them or the airplane causing the roll.

Once I have the airframe itself flying true, I will install the leg and wheel fairings.  If I then get another roll off, I will know it is because I didn’t install the fairings correctly.  This will let me concentrate my efforts in the right place to fix any errors.

I will update this section after I install the fairings.
