I haven't tried these, but I got this link from someone on Van's Airforce website that had used it. I kept the link because my display has lines missing and I plan to change it at some point.

It would seem to me that a less bulky wheel pant would offer less drag and the Vans kit wheel pants certainly don't have to be as wide as they are to clear the tires.

I saw them at OSH, beautiful composite work. Smaller cross section than the Van=99s pants and better looking than the James ones. Less drag?

The narrower you make the pants, the closer you have fiberglass/carbon next to the disk. /Martin > On Nov 21, 2022, at 2:07 PM, Lenny Iszak wrote: > > Ken Krueger sells carbon main gear pants for RV-8s with 6.00-6 wheels, which is the same wheel the -10 uses.
