Could you list these please? I'm interested in trying to afford a few
of these in the near future. Also, any specs on what you get for
speed would be great.


As others have mentioned, there are many good sources of information
regarding Cherokee speed mods. A short list of ours include:

- Fancy pants
- Flap gap seals
- Aileron gap seals
- Stabilator gap seals
- Fuselage-to-wing fairing
- Position light removed from rudder -- special fairing installed
- Landing light faired over with plexiglas

Regarding their effectiveness, I've been told that the larger-engined
Cherokees seem to benefit more from them. We flight-plan for 142 knots, and
will easily walk away from a stock retractable Arrow.

Of course, I'll be burning 15 gallons per hour to do it (to his 10 gph) --
but there's no free lunch...
