| Subject: | Nose Wheel Fairing |
All;
After talking a lot with Rich, I decided to make a nose wheel fairing for my
airplane similar to the one he has on his TR-1. It goes around the 2" nose
wheel tube, extending about 6" to the rear making it a little more
aerodynamic. We make a cutout from cardboard then used the cardboard cutout
to make an aluminum mold. The using this mold, we used a layer of glass for
the actual fairing. After consulting with Rich, we glued the fairing to the
tube using silicone sealant.
The hole where the 2" tube enters the boot is very big and can't be made any
smaller. We built an "air-dam" in front of the hole slightly taller that the
fairing so air would flow up and around it. We made sure nothing was binding
with the boot by turning it from one side to the other for about 160 degrees
of rotation.
I will be doing some flight testing soon before I paint the boot and
fairing. I don't expect a significant increase in performance, but any
little bit helps. I can say that I really like how it came out especially
since it gave the airplane a completely different look.
I posted pictures on my web page in the Airplane Upgrades album:

Also, I am returning permanently to the States very soon. I am taking
advantage of being here to do as many upgrades I can. Having Rich and some
former PULSAR employees available to consult/guide/help/do the work has been
GREAT. THANKS RICH! ;o)

The strut fairing really changed how the aircraft looks.
