Default Fairings Etc Product Review
I bought the tail (and gearleg fairings, not yet installed) fairings from Fairings Etc advertized on VAF for my RV8.

They look good. Smooth finish. and fit very nicely after some light trimming per the instructions with a dremmel tool.

If you are thinking you have more money than time (and fiberglass skills) and want to get fast results, I recommend these as a solid purchase for your RV. I installed them in 2 hrs flat.

Have a look at the website and our installation photos.

That was our first experience with fibreglass.

They fit really well and I will be using them on the 8.

No issues, good value and good product

It will be a perfect product when it has no pin holes.

The fairings I bought from Jan in Africa recently are perfect.
