Default Tire Access for ASK-21

Anybody have a suggestion for how to easily get at the valve stem on an ASK-21 main wheel without dropping the shroud? Would like to make checking the pressure part of our club's daily routine, but hard to enforce if we have to unscrew the main gear fairing every time. Thanks...


We cut the fairing in half and added a splice plate bonded to the front half that has 3 nut plates per side to screw the rear half to the front. This makes it removable fairly easily.
