On my citabria, the only improvement, and it's a good one, is they keep
the mud from flying up on to the bottom of the wing and fuseloge. I
didn't put them back on this year because it's impossible to check the
tire pressure with them on.

Incidentally, this is our first experience flying the 235 without wheel

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?
