Default light weight wheel pants for larger (2.75in/70mm)+ wheels?

I don't like using 60mm wheels on my planes, really would prefer not to have to on the composite bird. Any suggestions for wheel pants?

Joe, now would be a great oppertunity for you to make a plug and then a mold. Wheelpants are easy, just carve what you want out of balsa, glass and paint and you are ready to make the mold. I bet there are many threads to read through that would get you off and running.

Here's an option to consider:

[link=http://www.aeroproduct.net/]Aero products[/link]...Select "CF gears and wheel pants" from left menu, then roll down to the wheel pants listing. I've successfully used the first item listed with 2.75 wheels. They are replicas of what was formerly offered by Bolly.
