Gents
I have the speed kit fitted to my XS but I dont have any transitions to
the fuselage or wheel fairings. Are these available from Europa or are
they something each builder makes for himself?
Cheers

Also need a full set of leg fairings , including transitioning to fuselage and
main wheel pants / wheel fairing ..

is an optimum somewhere: for a 2D fairing (like for a strut or a wheel leg)
the optimal width to length ratio would be 1:3.7, with the widest point at
about 30% of the length. For a 3D fairing things get a bit more complicated.
Shorter
carries a higher penalty than longer, so if in doubt just make it longer.
