to the Pod Fairing area. This panel is attached to the frame using brackets and Nyloc bolts to hold it in
place.

53.50.00 Aerodynamic Fairings
The Pod and Spat assemblies are the only included aerodynamic fairing on the aircraft. They are
constructed from fibreglass and polyester composite material, and attached to the aircraft via bolts and
brackets which attach to the main structure. Each of the fairings should be checked regularly to ensure
that the Nyloc bolts are secure, and that the fibreglass where it is attached is in good condition.
