In flying without the 3 old-style wheel pants on my '68 Cherokee 180, I have found zero speed difference. According to the "Speed Pants" web site, I should find (9.12 - 6.95 = 2.17) 2.17 knots or roughly 3 MPH of increased speed. This makes me suspicious of any and all speed mod claims. Spending $2500 to get a zero to 9 knot speed improvement seems like an unwise use of $$$ to me, so I have not gone this route. I will save the $2500 for my Turbo Mooney.... -- Aaron Coolidge (N9376J), as seen on Jay's website. |
