--> Stratus-List message posted by: "Larry McFarland" <larrymc@qconline.com>

Hi list,
At Oshkosh last year I noticed a nice 601
HD that had gear box fairings and took pictures of
them.  This year, while waiting for upholstery foam,
I decided to make a pair.  These aren't often seen
on 601 HD series and could possibly be a good
source for reducing drag.  Anyway, I put a few
pictures of the gearbox forms, fairings and brackets
on my site and the how-to if anyone is interested. 
They weren't hard to do and the winter months are
a great time to catch these items and maybe
a few extra knots. 
It's on the Gear page.
