A good question and I wish I had an equally good answer, but I don’t! At the moment the fairings aren’t attached at all.
My idea is that the first few flights will be without them whilst I “fine tune” the bungees to get the correct amount of spring, which I’d want to do anyway, then once I’m happy with the undercarriage I’ll attach the fairings, possibly using silicon sealant if I can’t think of a way to make them easily detachable.
As I was answering Steve’s question I thought I might as well add this photo.
I’ve added a couple details to the decking, namely the transparent window and a (non-functional) inspection hatch; the side doesn’t look as empty now.
