In our case, the state of OK passed HB1577 last year exempting all aircraft parts/repairs from sales tax to the end user. I have a customer in another state whose friend is over tax collection, and there has been discussion that the state he resides in may not be able to collect tax on his engine because of our state doesn't tax anyone, including its own residents for aircraft parts. If you have an accountant, you could always ask them to write the tax commission for a ruling on the taxability of the item by giving a hypothetical situation.

Bert, I think you will have to raise your threshold in order to purchase ready-made fairings. I have been flying the TeamRocket fairings for several years: http://www.teamrocketaircraft.com/TeamRocketAircraftcgi/hazel.exe Their fairings are $150 for the set but you must use their gear leg fairings.

Can you be more specific? Are you talking about the pants, leg fairings AND upper & lower intersection fairings? Plus, I noticed you are one of the smart guys like me with a nosewheel (uh-oh!!) which means three of everything, basically- I think you could spend almost that much just for tools & material to make them all- Other wise, can some one tell me how difficult would be to make my own..... If you are a masochist, that helps. There are those who actually "enjoy" delving into the black art of fiberglass, but IMHO they retire to padded rooms in the evening. 8-) Seriously, unless you already know how to work this stuff, you could spend a great deal of $time$ learning the mysteries of fiberglass. But if you have the patience and time, you could sure get all the information you need off the Internet. Browse these publications offered by The Builders Bookstore: _http://www.actechbooks.com/airframeCOMPOSITES.htm_ (http://www.actechbooks.com/airframeCOMPOSITES.htm) Even buying the parts offered by Van's, Fairings etc. and Team Rocket (among others) will result in much time spent whipping them into useable condition. If your personal standards for fit/finish are particularly high, you will spend much, much more time. I have used components from all of the above and they are all OK if all you want is OK- if you want exceptional, buy from the same places and plan on a lot of shoptime fine-tuning each part. My personal experience is that the offerings from the latter two are pretty darn good- especially that upper nosewheel fairing from Fairings etc. that was an almost perfect fit right out of the box- (Thanks, Bob!)

My suggestion is either forget about using them and the significanty speed penalty that you will pay OR Pay the price and be done with it. Don't make a few flights if you have to to "pay" for the cost.

If you paid yourself $25 an hour and worked for 6 hrs I would bet that you would not have the first fairing made. Oh and by the way, you will still have to pay for the supplies. You want 5 fairings for $150. Ha ha ha! It's all in the way you look at it. I spent 4 hrs. putting the hinge in one main gear leg fairing today. I'm sure glad my intersection fairing from Bob are on the shelf.

Fairings. 1) Do the "newer" Kits from Vans still come with the Gel Coated Fairings ? 2) My understanding from reading the Archieves is that the Gel Coat is used over Polyester Resin F.G. parts and not over Epoxy Resin F.G. Parts. Is this true ? 3) Is it worth buying from Vans the "newer" NON Gel Coated Fairings (assuming they come that way now) than trying to work with the existing Gel Coated fairings that I have ? 4) What is the purpose of the Gel Coat - mold release ? 5) What Grit / Method used - would you recommend to take off the Gel Coat (and not digging into the F.G. weave) ? 6) Is it recommended to remove ALL the Gel Coat down to the F.G. weave so that any "flexing" of the F.G. fairing will not crack any final Top Coat of paint in the future ? [My Fairing on the TOP of the VS will be removable for access to the VOR Antenna - should that be necessary and could flex during removal and crack the Top Coat of paint.] 7) Any helpful HINTS on getting a nice Fairing / Skin edge line where the Fairing meets the Skin and still keeping the Fairing removable ? [Will be using #6 Screws into Nutplates riveted to the F.G. Fairing] Appreciate your helpful inputs, Garey Wittich Santa Monica, CA Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
