I've never worked with the material,and I wonder if the big challenge is how to get it to hold any shape,other than flat when it's bent into a curve.
I'm gonna use sewn leatherette over foam rubber,attached to a plate which catches the top of the belly pan,allowing the fairing to descend down through the hole.
If hinged at the front,a ground strike will simply lift it into the void above the belly,and then descend once more as the hazard passes.
The rears can be made to follow the rear suspension,lifting them if a hazard comes along.
