Gang:

  

 I am planning on putting fiberglass intersection fairings where the wing  and horizontal stabilizer attach to the airframe of my 601XL/TD.   (Not planning light sport!)  I was hoping that someone has  already done molds for such, or even that one or the other or both might be  available commercially.  (Yes, I know I can make them up moldless, but if  someone's already done the work...) 

  

 Anyone have such molds, or a contact for same?

  

 Thanks,

If you hear of any let the list know. I do have a question for you though. Why do you think it matters to light sport status of your aircraft? I only ask because there has been a significant amount of incorrect LSA info floating around here the last few weeks.

there is a guy in czech area that put nice fairings on an XL.  I asked roger and Sebastian, but nobody could ident the pilot.  Check in the tail dragger section, the red XL nice fairings by mistery pilot.

Who could it be..........

 I am very much interested in installing wing root fairings on my XL, but I'd rather buy them than make them. You are probably aware of the installation that Klaus Truemper did on his HDS. Klaus generously spent a morning with me last May looking and taking photos of his beautiful plane. See:



 http://www.utdallas.edu/~klaus/Airplane/airplane.html



 if you haven't already looked at his website. The performance improvements for Klaus plane were very significant. If the results on an XL are anything close, they would really be worth installing. I've posted my photos of Klaus' plane on Picasa. There are several detail shots of his fairings. See:



 http://picasaweb.google.com/ttp444/Klaus601HDS



 There is a gentleman, Bob Snedaker, in Goodyear, AZ, who makes wing root fairings for RVs. I talked with him on the phone after I visited with Klaus. He sounded interested in expanding his product line to include the XL, but he needed an aircraft so that he could make the molds. I attempted to find a 601 builder in his neighborhood who would be willing to let their plane be used to make the molds, but I was unsuccessful. Perhaps if you would call him, he might make you a deal if you volunteer to be his Guinea pig. His web site is:



 http://www.fairings-etc.com/wing%20root%20fairings.htm



 He has a phone number on his site. His price for a pair of RV fairings is a pretty reasonable $430. I hope you'll contact him and let the group know if he will be selling fairings for XLs. I'd definitely be willing to buy a pair. 



 Also, Eddie Seve, an XL builder in Australia is building wing root fairings. His Kitlog Pro site is:

 Good luck!



 Terry
