4.3.15 Remove and Repair Scout 912 Fairing
Skill Level:
Owner, LSR-M, A&P
Tools:
Fiberglass repair tools
Materials:
Fiberglass repair
Task Description:
The fairing is made of a fiberglass polymer similar to that used on automobiles. Since this is
not a critical or structural part of the trike, it may be repaired by the owner or any qualified
individual. However, any cracks that allow a portion of the fairing to vibrate in the wind
during flight, must be repaired before further flight. Any portion vibrating may break off and
damage the propeller.
To remove the fairing:
1.
Remove 9 screws along bottom edge of windshield, remove shield and set aside.
2.
Remove 2 bolts on each drag strut, detach and set aside.
3.
Remove fairing trim by gripping trim and gently pulling straight off. Do not pull on
the portion of the trim that is already off like a rope to peel off the remaining attached
portion. This will stretch the trim and possible tear it making remounting difficult.
4.
To remove the side panels, remove the two screws on upper rear of side panels.
Remove one bolt on lower rear of each panel. Remove MAG switch housing under
right panel. Support panels and remove 6 remaining bolts attaching panels to the belly
pan and fairing front.
5.
To remove fairing front, remove one bolt under fairing nose. Disconnect pitot tube
hose. Remove 4 bolts attaching fairing front to instrument panel. Support fairing and
remove remaining 6 bolts attaching front to belly pan. Lift fairing front from trike.
6.
To remove instrument panel, disconnect all wires from instruments and switches.
Remove two screws attaching lower panel to root tube. Lift panel from trike.
7.
Remove belly pan by removing 4 bolts attaching belly pan to brackets.
Installation is the reverse order.
