Fancy Pants are an extremely elegant and aerodynamically efficient improvement to pre-1978 Piper main gear pants. They follow the exact shape of the original, and look as though they are part of the original design.
They are permanently attached to the Piper pants and are removed as one piece. There is a large access and service door through which normal inspections and service can be conducted with ease. Fancy Pants can be installed in under a day. To install them you have to have the original pants in place. You attach the Fancy Pants to the original wheel pants and fasten them with the provided hardware (rivets). Since you need to paint the final pants anyway, we suggest that you fiberglass or smooth over the seam line between the fancy pant and the original pant to get the best look and performance. |
