If anybody is interested in strakes/fairings to fill the gap in between the turtle deck and the inboard wing and flap area, check out this website.

Thanks, I ordered some. May do their rudder trim later if needed.

Alan, those are very nice but keep in mind you can make them for about $10-20 if you need to actually buy the aluminum.

He's also making some wingroot/upper door brackets of thin aluminum to seal up that area for me.

Steve at http://www.mlskunkworks.embarqspace.com/ also made up & sent me a set of Highlander wingroot fairings that are made of lightweight aluminum and speeded up that job nicely for a very low cost. I'm painting them Tiger Orange to go with the T-hatch & strakes, wingtips, and midship band.

That web address is not the right one,,,,,,,,,,

It looks as though they are out of business, or they've changed websites

Would you believe that Northrop, yes the big time aircraft manufacturer, sent Steve a letter telling him to change his website? Sad but true. The new website is: http://www.mlblueskunk.com/

Here's a direct link, for those who don't want to hunt for the correct web page: www.mlblueskunk.com/Other_products.html

Looking forward to a review of how well they work, and what effect they have aside from the obvious aesthetic function.

by **stede52** » Sat Oct 31, 2009 11:53 am

They are pretty much all aesthetics

, you won't feel any performance improvement with them but you'll look better trying
