Just thought I'd comment on the nose gear cable discussion. I have a 46 D model
with the aftermarket dual nose gear. (Big heavy square looking affair) My landing
light is located on a bracket mounted to the front of the fork. With the cable on I
can get 112mph indicated at 1500ft. With the cable and light removed I get 116.
I think the comment about the gear being down out of the prop blast thus creating
less drag has merit. I haven't seen any other coupe with this nose fork, in fact
neither had Skip Carden. He took pictures of it at the 97 Nationals.
