The fairings that I received in December don't look the great. I have thought
long and hard about returning them, but they only refund $24 per. The replacements
are $420. I am going to try using them and if the first one does not turn
out or takes an inordinate amount of time then I will order some after market.
The only ones I have seen as after-market are from Jan

On the cowling, I also used 3 oz cloth strip on the joint and rivets where the
cowling meets the fuse. On the wingtips and fairings, I used adhesive to glue
the hinge to the fiberglass and filled each rivet hole with resin/microballons
prior to riveting. I was concerned that adding a layer of cloth on such a
thin piece of glass would require a lot of work. I saw this method used in another
build.

Yes. Did it on the FG top too. Easy and worked fine. Suggest buying
light weight tape from a specialty supplier. I got some stuff from
Aerospace Composite Products in Livermore CA.

You can find some really nice fiberglass tape designed for model airplanes that
is tightly woven and ultra thin at hobby shops or online.
