I guess I should add that it was screwed on with #6 truss heads into
those self locking Riv-nuts or whatever they are called. The Riv-nut
things remain in place... I forget whether all the screws were still
there or not. Seems like the fairing just ripped away. They were the
standard Vans part with maybe only one layer of cloth added.
I would note that the new fairing seems to be of higher quality and I'm
thinking of not adding any additional cloth contrary to the directions.
Am I setting myself up to lose another?

Good question. I don't have a clue. One day during preflight, it
wasn't there. Wish I knew.

I have never found a fairing that fits to my liking without laying up mold release then 2-3 layers of glass on the fuselage and gear leg and then setting the prefabbed fairing into it to cure. Pop it off, clean it up, and it'll fit like a glove. I did the same thing on the empannage intersection fairing.... It gives the 'molded on' look....

Mike,
do you have any photos of the process and the result? It sounds like a great idea
