All,
I am interested in adding strut fairings to my CH701 before I finally
get around to painting it. Seems like it is a good way to gain a few
knots for free. I am interested in information related to the options
following:
1) Names of any company's marketing the parts to accomplish adding
fairings to the struts. I don't have a brake long enough to form the
material.
2) If I can't find them pre-made, anyone with details of what you did
relative to material thickness, radius of the LE bend, how far your bent
it, and how you fastened at the trailing edge?
3) Has anyone use those plastic strut fairings?
Thanks in Advance

On my Kitfox, I made templates and hotwired foam leading and trailing
edges from foam, and then epoxied them in place, and layed up two
layers of glass cloth over it using West Systems epoxy. A bit of work, but
it came out very well.
Here's a couple pics
