This means that both of our wheel pants were in the shop at the same time and-you guessed it-were painted the wrong colors and delivered to the wrong customer. It also turns out that since the wheels are the same size, so are the fairings. Recall that my wheel pants were turned in for painting after the plane itself. It turns out that my next-hangar neighbor had his RV-14 painted just after my 12 was done. If you look at the cutouts, you can tell that these are not the same fairings.
Take a look at these, and compare them to the image below (Nov 2016). Unfortunately, I found a serious problem. I finally got the wheel pants back from the painter. Thanks so much for your attention, Safe flights & Tailwinds! This gives me the perfect closing for this blog, For the first time I have seen my plane where it belongs- in the air! I’ve always wanted to fly in formation, and had the opportunity to do so last week. I will close with one final accomplishment. Having accomplished those goals, I realize that just documenting everywhere I fly and what all I tweak & repair simply isn’t the same with respect to needing to be written up. Not because of anything bad-far from it! I’ve simply run out of time to maintain the blog due to work, and-much more importantly-flying! The blog was very useful during the build process, as it allowed me to organize my thoughts, document my progress, and serve to burn off my energy when I was trapped at work and not able to be building my plane. I flew in trail for the 1st half of the flight. N7623V, piloted by Ed, overtaking my right wingtip
