The J230 is fitted with fairings around the wing roots, wing struts, under the fuselage and
wheel spats.
17.1 WHEEL SPATS

17.2 WING FAIRINGS
17.2.1
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
These fairings are attached using self tapping screws. The fairing can be removed once
these screws have been taken out. When removing the wing strut fairings care should be
take to avoid scratching the strut. Installation is the opposite of removal. Care should be
take when tightening self tapping screws as when screwing into fibreglass it very easy to
strip the hole so that it doesn’t not tighten.
17.3 REPAIR.
The fairings on the J230 are made from 2 layers of 300gram/m
2
twill weave fibre glass and
epoxy resin. When damaged they may be repaired using an equivalent layup across the
damage and normal fibreglass repair techniques. Once repaired refer SECTION 15 –
PAINTING & FINISHING for repainting and filling techniques.
Self tapper holes that become stripped may be repaired using be using the next size up
self tapper (from 6 gauge to 8 gauge) however it is not recommended to go any larger.
The hole maybe filled using 5 minute araldite and redrilled again to the original, smaller
size again. If the hole has been exposed to oil or similar it will need to be cleaned with a
solvent such as acetone.
