and it's a lot better than the ones shipped with the kit.
I lost a fairing on an early flight. After constructing a replacement
that didn't turn out real well, I reluctantly ordered a replacement.
The original part shipped with the kit was of low quality and required a
fair amount of work to finish properly. They appear to have improved
significantly.
In retrospect, I would have still ordered an aftermarket set if I had
known better. But the current crop of fairings are better than they were.
Now that the exterior finish is decent, I'm wondering if 2 layers of
cloth still need to be added.

The fairings that I received in December don't look that great. I have thought long and hard about returning them, but they only refund $24 per. The replacements are $420. I am going to try using them and if the first one does not turn out or takes an inordinate amount of time then I will order some after market. The only ones I have seen as after-market are from Jan

Just out of curiosity, how did the fairing come loose?
