The fairings that KF sells are PVC, I have not seen anything like them from a generic source.
Don't know the specifics, but the molding some have used is a foam core door frame molding. The pieces have a slight positive contour and are used in pairs, back to back. They are glued together and then to the aft side of the lift strut.
I haven't got 'm, yet, but will have. I flew hanggliders and they use these kinds as well.
The ones from Streamline are pretty nice. Looks like you have to rivet them to the strut. The price is definately right.
I believe thats what I was looking for. I hear you can use PVC instead of wood so maybe a little filler, sanding and some paint and I would be in business. Thanks abunch.
