Streamlined strut fairings for ultralight and light sport aircraft.

Stream-Line - 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. 

Stream-Line of North Port Florida has a more economical option, installing a plastic streamline case over your existing tubing.  The extruded plastic 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 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 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 gear leg kit is also available.

Another innovative idea from Stream Lined is an exhaust ball joint conversion kit. The kit which can be used on all Rotax, and Hirth two stroke  engines eliminates the springs and hooks, and replaces them with the more "conventional aircraft" style exhaust connection. 

This helps eliminate the problem of exhaust springs and hooks failing and going into your expensive propeller, possibly causing an emergency landing, and damage to your aircraft!

The kit which is constructed of stainless steel, with AN hardware is easy to install!

 Hirth engine only require 1 while Rotax engines will require two kits.
