Streamlined strut fairings

Stream Lined strut fairings- In an effort to produce faster speeds and better fuel economy pilots are "stream-lining" their ultralights. One way of doing that is to install "stream lined struts" or "stream lined strut fairings."

The first of these two options can be very costly. To install new aluminum stream lined struts, plus design new fittings etc. can cost in excess of $1,000. 

A more economical option is to installing a plastic streamline strut case over your existing tubing.  The extruded plastic strut fairings quickly and easily install over existing round lift struts, jury struts, gear legs, etc.

This has the benefit of increasing speeds from 5 to 8 mph, reduces drag, which improves fuel economy and performance, not to mention an improved appearance.

The streamlined strut and gear leg fairings come in one seamless length, which can easily be cut to fit struts, gear legs etc. They are durable, lightweight, impact resistant and can be painted.

The streamlined strut fairing material is available in two sizes. The smaller size fits tubing 5/8" to 1 1/4 " round tubing.  While the large size fits tubing 1 1/4" to 2".  

A set of 4 small 8 foot long streamlined strut fairings sells for $169.95 
U.S. plus shipping.
 
     
A set of 4 large 10 foot long streamlined strut fairings sells for $189.95
U.S. plus shipping. 
 
     
A gear leg streamlined strut fairing kit is also available for $39.95
U.S. plus shipping.
 
     


The fairing can be installed using rivets, screws, glue, or installed
using small quantities of insulation spray foam at either end.
