I had completely forgotten that Mark had three wheels. In that case wheel pants should give even more speed than the normal 7-10 you get putting them on with a tailwheel.
One other thing I forgot to mention is that it is always best to start tweaking the prop after all of the other speed mods are done. A prop that is not ideal may be perfect, or even more wrong, after the pants, etc. are done. No reason doing incremental prop changes. Save it for last if you can. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Dana Overall" <bo12...@hotmail.com> Reply-To: KRnet <kr...@mylist.net> List-Post: krnet@list.krnet.org Date: Wed, 21 Jun 2006 08:09:56 -0400 >Mark, some of the biggest airspeed improvements seen in the metal crowd are: > Pressure recovery wheel pants, 4-5 more than the 6-8 than standard wheel >pants.
