Default Hershey bar wing vs composite wing - how much drag?

("john smith" wrote)
On the new aiplanes, there are HUGE fillets fore and aft of the wing. This
really became a design consideration in the mid-1980's.



Wheel pants, gap seals, ....and HUGE new fiberglass fillets (fore and aft).
Are they part of everyday speed-mod packages?

If so, what is the "anecdotal" gain, after installing (just) them?

I've read reports on wheel pants, on gap seals, and on Power Flow exhaust
systems, but not on aftermarket fillets for the GA fleet.
