During my Eagle build, I decided that I wanted an intersection fairing between the Cabane struts and the sheet metal over the fuel tank. I designed what I wanted in CAD with the intention of 3D printing molds to make them from fiberglass. When I got the 3D Printed parts in, I liked them so much that I just used them. Material is laser sintered nylon. It is very light, and quite flexible. It is a little porous and requires some sanding and high build primer to prepare it for top coat. The rear edge is split with an overlap and is held together with a piece of thin double sided tape, which is included. Attached are some pictures of the final product.

Looks like some of my email got stripped away. Anyway, price is $165 per set, shipping anywhere in the continental US included. These have not been flight tested on an Eagle yet, but I also made a set for a Pitts S-1S that have been flight tested.

Sorry, the files are not for sale. But Shapeways does ship to Europe. They are printed on very high quality, selective laser sintering machine. 

Thanks
