Anyone have experience with the RV-10 James Aircraft wheel pants?  Pros/cons?

I have a set of these that I will be using on my 6A - I have put 380x15x5 tires on my 5x5 rims to offset the fact that I have put a 5x5 wheel on the nose...I operate primarily from a grass strip.



I have already put a SJ RV6 style main pant on the nose and like the way it came out (so far),



I'm interested to read what others have to say also.

I think I ordered one of everything the James make....seriously though, I did order the wheel pants for the -10 from them, but haven't received them yet.  I'll let ya know how they are to work with.  I used the Van's wheel pants on my -7A, but bought all the intersection fairings from Bob Snedeker at Fairings, Etc.  I was very happy with those, his workmanship was excellent.  The Van's intersection fairings were a poor excuse for fiberglass work...in fact I have some I'll give away if someone wants to pay shipping.

I have Sam's main wheel pants, cowls, and plenum. His parts are nice  

to work with, fit well and have minimal pin holes. The wheel pants  

are not as oval around the tire as Vans, so I used the stock axle  

extension cut down a little. I have 100 hrs on the set up now with no  

problems, and will do some speed runs to see what I get at different  

power settings. I have done a few trips and at 7000'-9000' (at) 23/2300  

I get 170 kt TAS (at) 14.5 gal rich of peak. Blue Skys
