<u>Part 2 Wheel Pant Fabrication
</u>After having the bottoms of both wheel pants opened up to receive their respective wheels next was to remove parts PG-6 from the ABS vacuum formed sheets. These are the front wheel caps which are secured to the front of the wheel pant halves.Bonding the ABS plastic together is best accomplished using Acetone. Using a small brush or in my case I used a Q-tip you just flow a few drops of the Acetone under the edges. It will spread along the seams by capilary action. Sort of like sweating copper pipes together. Just hold the pieces for a minute or two and the pieces become bonded together making one. You do have to be careful not to flood the area or you will melt everything! So practicing on some scraps is in order to see just how the Acetone will react to the plastic is wise.

I only secured the front portion of the pants as Imay need to spread the back sections slightly to get the landing gear wire through.
