Art,
I always have my wheel pants on. Maybe that would keep your fairing off the brakes? Is the fairing tight against the bottom of the airplane? My top pin sticks through the floor and the bottom pin through the wheel pant.

Re: Tailbeacon on a Waiex
Initial layup for the tailbeacon fairing. I wet sanded the 3D printed mold until it was smooth. Then I painted it, sanded some more, and covered it with thin plastic packing tape. I waxed the tape for release and laid up one ply to start.

Excellent - another one is "it will be done next year." Believe it long enough and sooner or later it's true!

Re: Excessive Shaft End Play
Remove and replace. We had one 2x4 bolted to the case and one on the prop hub. With 2 people easy to do on the hoist that way.

Hmmm. This could be a potential deal-breaker.
Bummer. I'd say look at the big picture though. Can you find a CFI buddy to make the trip with you? Or someone insurable?
