(and a few other folks too!) Guess I'll have to see you at Oskosh instead. Not this year though, I'm going to Rough River instead with Paul McA for the canard gathering.

    Subject: Speed fairings - XS Mono
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Alan Stewart" <alan.stewart@blueyonder.co.uk> Hi, I tried to measure the cruise speed improvement in my 912 Classic monowheel as accurately as possible, after fitting of the outrigger and tail wheel fairings. I made several runs on a triangular course, at different power settings, and worked out TAS by trigonometry. My measured speed improvement was certainly less than 5 knots.
