Excellent Bryan. As I recall during my construction, that was very near the end of building. You will be flying this year, yes?

Made the other rudder cable fairing, and built the first pushrod fairing.

Here they are taped on for the sake of a picture.

Funny Bryan.
My conversion kit came with pre-molded ABS pushrod and rudder cable fairings. Since I already went through he pain of fabricating mine from aluminum, I'd have gladly given you these. Anyone else building a waiex and wants these fiddly bits, the cost is cold beer when I arrive at OSH.

John,
Had I known before, I would have taken you up on it. I am almost finished with the last fairing though. I appreciate the offer!

They look great. Sleep well thinking you really put the correct effort into building your own aircraft!

Hi John

If you still have the Waiex fairings I’d like to take you up on that offer.

I’ll pm you my address. Btw.....should I ask.....how many beers do you estimate that is?

Nope. Shouldn’t ask.

Thanks much, Gordon

While messing around with the placement of the fairings, Adam noticed a small interference that we missed before.

We trimmed it and just have to re-safety the bolt in the mixer. Fun.
