Looking for wheel pants. I like Bob's style shown on N711SH with the 30 yr anniversary. PM's appreciated. Thanks Les Krumel, Albuquerque |

I have the mold for Bob's and several others wheel pants. Come to Florida and lay up a set. Bill N30WW |

Les, Have you looked at the Team Rocket pants? http://www.teamrocketaircraft.com/TeamRocketAircraftcgi/hazel.exe?CLIENT=63751220&SEARCH_LOGIC=%2B&SEARCH_KEY_CAT=&SEARCH_LOGIC=%2B&SEARCH_KEY_PRICE=&SEARCH_LOGIC=%2B&SEARCH_COMP=%3A&SEARCH_KEY_KEYWORDS=wheel+pants&SEARCH_LOGIC=%2B&PIX=&DET=&SEARCH_MAXHITS=10&SUBMIT_ACTION_SEARCH=Begin+Search&client=63751220 they are similar to the Van's pants but less expensive. |

Les, I have a set of wheel pants available, they're fresh layups that need to be joined down the centerline though. |

'Feisty' has wheel pants with a ridge on each side running from front to back. Who made those? They seem fairly common on older T-18s and Mustangs? |

Those are Rattray wheel pants ... Have a set of those laying around if anyone wants them. |

Thanks Lee! Although there is nothing wrong with my patched up old Rattray pants, they probably are not the best by today's standard. They do increase 'Feisty's' top speed @ 4000 MSL by about 10 or 12 MPH. So they are worth having, but I think the newer style, especially if it covers the brake would be better. So any of you who are on a shoe-string budget, (I KNOW I've been there!) Don't fly your T-18 without pants if all you can afford is the Rattray. |
