Strut fairings

[Dapperdt]

I saw a 2003 KCAB with really nice strut fairings where the main strut connects to the wing and also to the fuselage. Does anyone know where I might be able to get my hands on some of those and/or would they be STC'd for my 73'? They really made the lines of those struts look clean, I have the plain (or plane if you like puns....) plastic ones on and nothing covering where they meet the fuselage. Thanks!

Dan, Have you tried contacting American Champion? They may be able to help you.

In case anyone was wondering those fairings cost $380.00 US clams for all four. You have to use a dremil tool to cut out the holes for your struts, but maybe something to think about to spruce up your old beast...

You can cover the square hole by cutting a piece of plastic window blind to fit inside the hole. Wrap compression springs on the tie down ring to hold the plastic piece against the fairing.

Are there backing plates inside your wing for where the screws go into to hold the fairing up?

No backing plates required. Just simple sheet metal screws into the existing structure.
