Default RE: Cobra Build Thread

It just seems like taking care of a home, being available for family and friends, and fitting it some serious couch-potato time is interfering with my progress on the Cobra. Lately I've been finishing some fairings around the landing gear struts. Have both sides fleshed-out now and am beginning the sanding and filling before I bolt the wheel pants to them.

Sometimes I wonder about wheel pants...most of them last long enough for the initial pictures and then a trip down a rough dirt field on take-off or landing will dislodge them rather easily. I've never flown off paved runways before so I don't know what "smooth" feels like. Oh well, they look good to start with, eh?
When I actually get the fairings and wheel pants (along with wheels of course) I'll post some pictures.

In the meantime I'm turning off my cell phone and breaking out some fresh sandpaper.
