I'm interested in speed, good looks and ease of installation. Also, is there any reason to put wood on the aft side of the gear legs? TIA, Jim Stone ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:53:07 AM PST US From: Rob Ray Subject: Re: Rocket-List: Recomendation on wheel pants, gear leg fairings and intersection fairings Jim, I challenge my pants and fairings with off road use! I use team rocket leg fairings over the legs. I wrapped the legs with electricians bundling tape, no wood. Pants are Vans pressure recovery over 380x150x5 tires. 4 inch height at rear of tire in level flight attitude . Works well for me, good luck!

Sure seems less flexible than the bare gear legs, but I'm told my gear "walk" a little at taxing speeds some times. I've never seen it or felt it though...
