Hi all,
Just looked up cleveland aircraft tools, the fairings i started out with are #RV12IF4. Its a set of 4, $195. But i only purchased the lower L&R. So $98.50. Not cheap but good quality. A good starting point for me with my arthritic hands. Thow in a kragen auto fiberglass repair kit and some cheap brushes $30. So about $130 invested. Plus a tube of spot putty and hardware to mount the fairing. Up to $140
Yikes! Add primer and paint.......$150..........
