I am now in the process of building a set for mine  but seems like I saw a set maybe on the Savannah website.

Dead simple to fabricate. Just use roofing aluminum, form 

leading edge by aligning trailing edges and pressing down on 

leading edge (carefully, so as not to get too sharp a 

leading edge) with a 2x6. Drill through trailing edges for 

small soft rivets (a la flaperons). Fit onto struts with 

appropriate cut-out for jury struts), clamp, and squeeze rivets.



Shoot poly-urethane foam into the ends to affix your 

fairings at appropriate 'angle-of-attack'. Affix 'No Push' 

decals near fuselage so that you passengers don't lean on 

the (hopefully). Done. total cost? $10? Enjoy your 5-8 mph 

cruise speed increase ;') See http://cleco.ca -> CH701 ->

How did you determine the proper angle of incidence for the strut fairings?



Thanks!

I just guessed. I don't think it is critical...
