Incidentally, this is our first experience flying the 235 without wheel
pants. We trued out at about 135 knots on the way to Wisconsin yesterday,
in absolutely calm air. Since we normally true out around 142, the fancy
pants apparently net us 5 to 7 knots.


Anyone know how much improvement the stock pants yield?

Don't know about Jay's, but some of the Piper POHs have a note on the
performance charts about how to adjust the speeds if the stock fairings are removed.
