MAIN WHEEL FAIRING (SPATS)
8.3.1 DESCRIPTION
Jabiru Aircraft are equipped with fairings for the main and nose wheel. These streamlined covers
reduce the drag of the undercarriage and significantly improve the efficiency of the aircraft.
8.3.2 REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
1.
Remove the bolt on the outside of the fairing.
2.
Remove the machine screws on the inboard side of the fairing.
3.
In some models the fairing is in two pieces: the large, outboard section and the small inboard
part. For these fairings the inner and outer pieces must be separated by removing all the
machine screws before removal.
4.
Lift the fairing up and out until free of the wheel.
5.
Reverse the preceding steps for installation.
WARNING
During assembly ensure that the brake line is not rubbing against the fairing or mounting screws.
Rubbing can lead to failure of the brake line and wheel brake failure.
