I think the Arrow gear is much draggier than the fixed gear. Still, both comparisons would be interesting. It definitely is ! I lost about about 25 kts when a hydraulic leak caused the gear to automatically deploy in an Arrow IV. (I think most of the drag comes from the gear doors.)

I was basing my judgement on (1) My Cherokee 180 glides like a rock, but (2) compared to an Arrow with the gear out it seems like, well, a more aerodynamic rock, anyway! -- Aaron Coolidge

Try adding a 3 blade prop to the Arrow. You then lose the aerodynamics of the rock! Matt
