Another Angle
Step
I too am impressed to see that much of a speed increase. It seems to me that Cessna POHs used to give a reduction in the cruise in the order of 3 mph or so for the removal of the wheel fairings.
Because I operate out of a 3600' elevation, the rate of climb of the mighty 150 is more of a concern. My question is, since excess thrust/reduced drag is such a deal in rate of climb, has there been any quantifiable increase jamesel
300hr, I have been given to understand that on some lower power versions of the Robins (DR120s?) that it was not legal to remove the wheel fairings due to the reduction in climb performance. Was there any noticeable difference in your operation?
