Fairings Installed
I finally got the fairings installed. I am not saying they are as good as I would like them to be but they are ON! I made all the intersecting pieces and it was way more of a pain than I thought it would be. Way more. I may purchase some ready made ones and redo them but for now - I am done!
One thing I will consider if I do them again is to have the leg fairing overlap the wheel pant stub. When I was fitting them I put it over the stub and it looked much better with no gap showing.
Now I will probably be pushing the VNE speed all the time!!!

Those look great! Mine are really ugly and need a lot of finishing work. I was amazed at what an airspeed difference they make, too!

It flys great. I have just over 100 hours of my time on it and each flight is a new experience. I am still learning but it is a whole new experience over the 172 I started flying!

Kevin, I was so swamped getting all my crapola out of the hangar and pressed to get back to SLC to handle my sisters passing I just ran out of time. My wife and I are going to fly out this spring. I am really looking forward to that!
I still need to work on cross wind but I am getting better! Have fun on the 6.
