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...
