Hi guys,
I am about to upgrade to the fiberglass gearleg fairings and upper gearleg intersection fairings. I currently have metal in these areas on my 6. The lower intersection fairings are glass on the pressure recovery wheelpants. The options seem to be Vans gearleg fairings and the intersection fairings from fairings etc. vs team rocket fairings. My question is has anyone actually seen both before they were finished, or better yet, actually made both. I am looking for comparisons as to the quality of the glass as well as the fit. I like the looks of the fairings etc intersection fairings, but am concerned about the Vans gearleg fairings considering the complaints on the quality of glass from Vans. The rocket fairings seem to be priced ok, but only work with rocket intersection fairings according to their site. I am not sure whose lower fairings the builder used on this plane. I have zero glassing experience but can learn, however I don't want the plane down forever working on this either and the premade stuff seemed a faster approach to this.
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance,
