Stiletto2,
Where in MI are you? Maybe we could collaborate. I am near Cadillac, so PM me if you are interested. I think FG layed up flat then wrapped would be strong and flexible enough, but you would need to figure how to stiffen it. I am working on a fairing for my SR 185, and would like to compare notes. I am using wet lay-up over foam plugs to get my shape, and 1.5oz CSM reinforcement with polyester resin. I did a few tests with 6 oz cloth, but it was too flexible for what I wanted. it might work over a good frame though, although thin sheet aluminum would be lighter. for similar strength.
