Can anybody provide some direction as to what fairings you all are using between the fuselage and the landing gear cover, and also for the wheel pant fairings. Where can they ordered ?

I am fitting Van's pressure recovery wheel pants and gear leg fairings. I like that the brakes are covered and the quality is very good. Available from vans aircraft web site.

As for the fuselage to gear leg fairing I am using the modeling clay and electrical tape method of fiberglass production. Lots of examples on web.

If you don't like vans, aircraft spruce has a couple of different choices for 500x5.

I also like the pants available on the F-1 Rocket site. Supposed to be faster than Vans cheeper too.
