Wheel Pants
'Just wondering if anyone is aware of available wheel pants for the F-24? My G has the Funky Fenders, probably would want to keep them, but like the look of the pants on the F-24 and might add 5 mph (?). Thanks.'

Remember your Staggerwing at Camarillo when I was based out that way. Had one myself there, but after you, I believe.

Re: Wheel Pants
'I know that you probably don't want to hear it, but the Fairchild wheel pants aren't the most aerodynamic. I had an occasion to fly my "24" with all of the OE wheel cover parts. It wasn't great. I had some wheel problems one day, and flew it with one on and the other in the back of the airplane. It was almost 5 mph indicated faster.
The fastest 24 that I have heard of was Tom Burmeister's, before he bought it, and it had a pair of OE Waco wheel fairings. The owner traded the Waco set for a pair of OE Fairchild set. He surely wished that he hadn't done that. She slowed down a whole bunch. (greater than 5 mph) You could probably take that with a grain of salt, but from what I have seen, I could believe it.

Re: Wheel Pants
'Hi Jamie
Can you please provide me a CD for the PT-19 Parts Catalong and Manuals? Last weekend I was lucky and obtained a pick up truck full of Ranger and PT-19 parts. Since I don't have a PT (yet) I would like to see the parts go to someone in need. In order for me to do that, I need to know what I have, hense the need for the manuals.
Thanks!

Re: Wheel Pants
'Clarence,
Desser used to send out a tube that had a stem that could be rotated. The stem was held to the tube by a nut that could be loosened. You could rotate the stem 180 degrees, and it would be good for our tailwheel.

I had some wheel problems one day, and flew it with one on and the other in the back of the airplane. It was almost 5 mph indicated faster.

He surely wished that he hadn't done that. She slowed down a whole bunch. (greater than 5 mph) You could probably take that with a grain of salt, but from what I have seen, I could believe it.
