20 minutes of parallel flying should be enough to make the point.

Download and replay the logs in SeeYou, or what have you.

Jim,

How narrow is the airspeed "sweet spot" for achieving these
performance gains? From the looks of the presentations on the
website, it seems like it might be rather small. Are there any
handling characteristics that are affected by the modifications such
as stall, slow speed, thermalling, etc.?
