Wing Strut Farings

Has anyone here found a source for wing strut farings?

I am referring to where the strut meets the wing.

I have an under chambered MK4 and find a great amount of turbulence in this area.

Hi John, glad to hear you are enjoying your new ride. I appreciate your previous posts on tuff testing.

FWIW, I have never found a source for a prefabricated Avid specific aerodynamic fairing for lift strut to wing bracket or lift strut to fuselage bracket, or an easily modifiable alternative. Pretty much a D.I.Y. endeavor I think, too bad Kitfox doesn't make something we could use.

On an unrelated note, did you ever post a takeoff video of your Mk-IV w/Jab2200 like your B model w/Jab? I'd like to see the difference in performance and replicating the original video (i.e. same airport, camera location and angle etc.) might be a cool thing to do sometime.
