REFLECTOR: Standard edition wheel pants

[Dugas Bellsouth]

I contacted a RV 6 200 hp pilot and he said the big 
"fat" ones are the best and come from the factory. 
You can look them up on the Vans site. Bruce and Steve Hammer
Race Glasairs with the gear down at about 250 mph. There are plane picture out there. I'll see if 
I run across a couple.
