Bud has a created a number of really informative articles in PDF format on various subjects, one of them are about drag reduction and contains good information on the speed kit as well, see: http://customflightcreations.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/drag103.pdf

Thanks Zwakie. I have seen and read this before, but now I'm saving it for future
reference. I particularly like this quote from Bud: "The flap brackets (especially
the outers) are a huge drag source."

Exactly the two things I thought would be of interest to you and why I posted the
link (pure luck that I had read this article again earlier this week, otherwise
I would not have thought of it [Wink] )

While on the subject of the outer flap hinge, given its location, my
thoughts were it might be advantageous to turn that hinge faring into a
"fence" to help reduce spanwise flow.
What say yee gentlemen to that. Or is it a lot of work for no real gain

I was pondering my panel today and its depth. My plan is to run a full glass
panel, with a couple of "smart Single" units as
Backups for ASI Alt etc. Given most of these units are now only about 5
inches deep, there is a significant void left behind them
So I thought shortening the panel depth (fore - Aft ) would visually at
least make the interior feel bigger. Has anyone done this
Or considered it and aborted it part way through, if so why, and if you have
done it was it worth the time.
Regards and thanks
Craig
