Carbon main wheel fairings with air doors for a variety of light aircraft on 5.00-5 or 6.00-6 wheels. Can add 6 knots or more to cruise speed compared to flight without wheel fairings. Our advanced design minimizes drag and weight compared to legacy wheel fairings. Elegant design allows for quick installation and removal, and provides better ground clearance, reducing potential damage on unpaved runways. Convenient air doors simplify tire pressure checks and feature a secure Camloc enclosure. All required hardware included. Lower gear leg intersection fairings are included for RV-8, -10, and -14 aircraft on 6.00-6 and RV-8 on 5.00-5 wheels. An ARF (Almost-Ready-to Fly) option reduces your time and expense for conversion to a minimum. Expert fabrication by AeroSouth makes a clear-coated finish an option, revealing the natural beauty of carbon fiber. Replacement parts are also available.
