Wheel Spats

Can anyone point me in the direction to where I can find wheel spats for a 35% airframe?

I would like to use spats such as those found on Yak 54 and like on a couple of airframes.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

TIA

Mark

Hey Mark,

What are you after already painted ones or just bare ready to be done?

- You can go a few ways, one you can find some from an Arf you like and order as a spare part, or

-Order some from one of the 100cc size planes from Fiberglass specialties (they have a few edges extra and so on) will send pics with size of the spats and so on.

I did this for a Pitts Challenger, its 37%, Found the WH Pitts one to be the right size and canopy too

I didn't see any spats listed, just wheel pants.

I'm looking for something like the below in any finish that can accommodate a 4.5" or 5" wheel.

On my Pilot Extra, just want to see how it looks as my wheel pants are all cracked up...

I liked them on my Yak, and they show off the wheels... Right now, I don't have wheel pants on any of my 35% and larger and that includes the ARS....
