Front Wheel Fairing Support
      
      I just succeeded in the total destruction of my brand new front wheel fairing,
      presumably from vibration/side stress upon completing a landing at a controlled
      field with a stiff cross wind [14 kts gusting to 20 kts], coupled with too light
      a design on the internal bracing.
         
        If anyone is able to at minimum fuss, would you kindly send me pictures of the
      internal bracing/brackets used on your front wheel to support the light weight
      fiberglass shell?
         
        I will be redesigning something, so input is most welcome at this point.
         
        Also, it seems that the Glasair fairing is long and of an older aerodynamic design.
      Has anyone purchased a fairing from another source that uses a newer tear
      drop design?
        Recommendations?
         
        Finally, I will be practicing my "Unable to accept the assigned runway due to
      crosswind limits" so that I can shout it out to the tower guy in a quick, professional
      manner.  ;-(
         
        Thanks in advance,

Re: Front Wheel Fairing Support
      
      I think many people with fixed trikes have done that. To prevent that you  
      have to keep the pressure high in the tire and the pivot bolt tight. I  replaced
      
      mine with the factory fairing. My GL2S cruises around 205 mph. I think  you 
      would see a better increase by using Cirrus type fairings on the  mains.
