Thanks Remi
I just forgot those fairings for
flap cross tube pivots - I have them.
I have had some thoughts to make
fore and aft fairings for mainwheel
but probably they would be useful
only for visual appearance.
The fairings are just bolted at the specified attach points plus using
one screw from the aileron bellcranck inspection plate.
Good idea.

Hi Raimo,
I confirm the speed kit supplied by the factory includes eleven
fairings: 2 for the outrigger mechanism, 4 for the flap hinges, 2 for
the flap cross tube pivots, 2 for the outrigger wheels and one for the
tailwheel. I managed to install the outrigger mechanism fairing without
gluing it as I wanted to be able to remove it easily for inspection. The
fairings are just bolted at the specified attach points plus using one
screw from the aileron bellcranck inspection plate. I had to reshape the
fairing flanges using a heat gun to get an acceptable fit.

My mono is far away and
cannot verify how many
fairings I have. I can remember
four of them /wing and just one
around tail wheel. That means 9 pcs.
Just wonder where are two extra.
Around main wheel? I have not...why?
How did you install the fairing around the
outrigger mechanism? I did as per
instructions + soft glued it to the
down surface of the wing just to keep
it clean and nice. Just wonder how
often I should remove it to make
some service and spring check of
the mechanism. I would like to hope
they last forever w/o service...
