On the RV-12 with the speeds it flys at the difference of wheel pants and nose gear leg fairing, or not, is 3 kts.

Max cruise with is 120 Kts
Max cruise without is 117 Kts

Main advantage is there are cool looking and keep bottom of airplane clean. The fairings are very robust design and remain solidly attached even when operating exclusively from turf runway.

I used skybolt 1/4 turns on all 3 of my wheel pants. No screws. 500 hours and 400+ landings - no issues. Can remove all 3 in LESS than 5 minutes. And replace in LESS than 5 minutes also. Looks exactly like screws.

Could you post or email me some pictures please? Do you have pictures on another personal website or somewhere to see them?

I'd like to see them, too.

Hi John, I ordered the FOBO trike set, should be here Monday (from Malaysia). I will let you know how they fit and work. It was worth taking a chance to me, if they don't fit, I will install them on my Suzuki GSXR and have a spare! I also love the idea of the Skybolt fasteners for the wheel pants. That would be the best of all worlds to me, a simple way to check tire pressures via bluetooth.....and if you need to add air, the 1/4 turn fasteners give you access in a few minutes (even just to check brake lines/pads/etc).

Warning, thread drift, I also used your blog post to help me install the Reiff 150W preheat system on my 912ULS last week. I went to my hangar at midnight a few nights ago and plugged it in, came back at 0630 and turned on master. Oil temp was 110 and CHT/EGTs were just in the green. For reference, inside hangar temp overnight was about 50F. Had only a large moving blanket draped over top cowl. Love it!
