    Has any one had a go at making a front clear fairing for recumbent ?
    - I have been researching the Oven / Blown style fairings, I wonder if I could do similar with simple plug and heat gun.

    The rear or tail fairing is a lot easier as it doesnt have to be clear and can have flat sides [ although somewhere I read that aerodynamic structures should never have flat sections ].
    Generally it smoothly guides the air back together after going around the Pilot :smile9:

    I like how it can be designed to make storage area - extra Challenge....
