Hi,
I'm making my wheelpant to gear leg fairings and have been having trouble getting the fibreglass cloth layups to conform around the sharp radius of the trailing edge and aft part of the fairing.
I tried a dry run with 1 piece of cloth for the front and one for the rear. The front conformed ok but the rear, once wetted would not follow the tight radius.
Any suggestions?
I'm thinking maybe an inch width strip along the sharp radius and cut the main part of the layup to conform to the profile of the curve.
Any suggestions from builders who have successfully made their fairings would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Cam
