Hello - I'm interested in wheel fairings for my 150 and would appreciate any guidance/suggestions on where to look. Thank you. Mark

Hey Mark. Not to be nosy, but why do you want wheel pants? I've been wondering if they might add a knot or two to the speed, but they do make it harder to do a good preflight and they add weight. So I've been weighing the pros and cons myself.

Mark,
I have them on my 150. I just like the look.
I don’t worry much about the weight or speed.
I get to have more yellow on my 150. I have a set I am not using if your interested.
Mark

It would depend on the year of your 150 as to what "Style" of pants you should be looking for. They weren't the say for every year.
Does your plane already have the mounting plates? Those are also different.

I just took mine off. Come to find out the sidewalls of my tires were in bad shape and needed to be replaced. I can see my brake pads now and the best part, I’m like 17 lbs lighter now (or something like that). 1086 empty!!!

I've got a set I'm willing to part with. Next time I'm out at that hanger I'll take a picture if you're interested. They are off a 1970 A150K, but I'm not 100% that they are the factory pants. They are in good condition, I just don't use them, too much extra weight.
