>The RV Bits fairings also are said to require minimal/NO work to fit.
My question is, can I believe this?? <
Answer: If you want a perfect tight fit, NO! Nobody can make a fiberglass fairing that fits everyones airplane perfectly. If you don't mind some gaps here and there, then maybe they could work without any extra input from the builder. If you want a nice tight custom fit, all fairings will require some work. I've use the Fairings Etc fairings and they were fairly close, but required some work to meet my goals. I've done the same with the Vans fairings, and even though they were grossly inacurate, making them look good wasn't that hard. All it takes is sand paper and stir sticks (and plenty of west system stuff). It doesn't take that much time either because most of the time spent is waiting for the epoxy to cure. If you don't like what you see, that's where some of that sand paper comes in. Grind it away and try again. Most of my fairings fit so tight you can't even get a finger nail under them - even the Vans loose interpretation of a fairing. All it takes is patience and imagination.
