Windshield to Cowl Fairing,

I'm New Here
Has anyone used the pre-made fairing built by the Viking Aircraft Engines people?
If so how did it fit and look and are you happy with it VS bonding to the bubble per drawings?
Thank You,
Bill,
 
I did not use it and glad of it. I have seen several and in no way does it compare to the lay-up that the manual depicts. It is a pricey piece of f/g. That lay-up is not that hard and the instructions are very good. I suppose this will start the firestorm, but that's my .02.
 
Viking canopy front

I used the viking part it fit fine and looked ok. Only problem I ran into
was a failure to properly clean the release agent off of the surface. The first paint job flaked off and had to do it over. All is good now.
 
Fairing

I used it and it is ok.
The bonding with Sicaflex is perfect.
Only problem I found the is no reference point on the fairing and when its wrong it will not fit the curves perfectly. This took most of the time
