| Subject: | Wheel Pants have important function |
Wheel fairings are often called "wheel pants", "speed fairings" or, in the UK,
"wheel spats". These fairings are a trade-off in advantages, as they increase
the frontal and surface area, but also provide a smooth surface, a faired nose
and tail for laminar flow, in an attempt to reduce the turbulence created by
the round wheel and its associated gear legs and brakes. They also have the important
function of preventing mud and stones from being thrown upwards against
the wings or fuselage, or into the propeller on a pusher craft.

the airplane and the pessimist the parachute. ~Gil Stern

I understand that you can use the same carbs on the 582, don't forget to rejet
them.
