Ah! So this thread is really a variation of the "How much is 5 knots worth
to you"
thread? I see. :-)


EXACTLY!

However, the previous owner of our plane -- a friend of ours -- put every
known speed mod on it. Of all the mods he added, he states unequivocally
that the Fancy Pants were the single most effective addition to the plane
for picking up speed. He says they net him around 7 knots over the old
Piper pants, which is huge.

And, boy, let me tell you -- my plane looks positively goofy without those
wheel pants. Parking on the ramp now is like going to a black-tie affair
while wearing brown shoes....
