Default Farings-etc praise report

I just got my gear and wheel pant fairings as well as a replacement empennage fairing for my -4 and I am VERY impressed at the quality of Bob's work. I had attempted to make my own for the gear and wheel pants, but they looked terrible. These look great and are worth every penny.

Just for posterity's sake...

Default Observations

I tried the link and the products look good as you say was found to be the case on your airplane. I looked at the wing root fairing photos and said to myself "I doubt that that will increase the speed of the airplane but I recognize that airplane as a very fast one." The ad comes right out and says the change was found to have no affect on aircraft performance and the plane in the photo is Robbie Attaway's RV-6 that won the Taylor 100 last year at well over 214 mph. The honesty and Robbie letting him use his airplane say a lot about the manufacturer. I will continue to do my own but this does look like a good alternate.

P.S. Your photo looks like the blacksmith in "Gunsmoke."
