There is still all the stuff hanging in the breeze: the propeller, the radiator, almost the entire mast, and the doors are fully open. It looks dreadfully draggy to a pilot circling in the same thermal with you, but it's just like Tom says: the drag is so small, you don't know it's there. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 Right - here is a flight where I forgot to complete the cool-down process and flew for 3 hours with the prop in that position: https://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-3....l?dsId=7393456 It is really hard to determine the glide degradation with the prop out, but I am sure there is some.
