 |
|
I just noticed the upper main gear intersection fairings in van's
catalog. I have all my other fairings and wasn't looking forward to
making these. But I'm building an RV-6A and the catalog identifies them
only as RV-7A fairings. I called van's and they said they hand't tried
them on a 6A. I would guess that they fit a 6A as well as they fit a 7A
(however well that is).
Has anyone out there with a 6A tried the Van's Upper Main gear
intersection fairings for the 7A? Do they fit?
I'm told Fairings etc. sells good ones, but they're twice as expensive.
Thanks for any info.

Hi Tom,
I can not speak from experience either for or against the Van's intersection
fairings. I have had a couple of friends express that they put a lot of
effort into making them work.
I can speak to the fit and finish of the 6A fairings made by Bob at Fairings
Etc..
His product came very close to final fit right out of the box. In general I
found his instruction sheets simple, clear and concise. I spent some time
and effort making slight modifications. I did so primarily because I tend to
be a wee bit anal about such things. Hmmm, do yah think maybe that had
something to do with the 10 year build time {[B-).
Bob's Fairings may be a bit pricey ?.. but the value was there for me. I
attribute much of the compliments I get to his product.
Starting and finishing are all part of getting there,
