Anyone out there with pics of a RV6A with the top and Bottom nose fairings from Fairings-Etc. Did you notice any speed increase.
Thanks

I'm guessing you mean the nose gear leg and upper intersection fairing. I don't know of a lower nose fairing. I have both...along with the wingroot intersection fairings.

Can't tell you about any speed increases as they have always been on.

Haven't figured out how to post a picture to this forum - but send me an address and I'll send a pic direct.....

Interesting thing about the Fairings etc intersection fairings. I have just finished fitting the fairings to the wheel pants on my 7. I woudn't bother again, make them yourself or maybe try the South African ones. The gear leg to fuse fairings I threw in the bin because they would have required more rework than starting from scratch.

Default Fairings-etc

I purchased the SA main upper and Lower gear leg fairings and painting them today. They come ready to install which was nice. I didn't know about Fairings-etc back then but I received my nose and cowl fairing yesterday and they look good and will be on the RV6A by Tuesday. Bob from Fairings-etc is a really nice broke enjoyed chatting with him.
