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."

What say yee gentlemen to that. Or is it a lot of work for no real gain Regards Craig Kit 577, final prep before paint -----Original Message----- From: owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of zwakie Sent: Saturday, 14 October 2017 7:01 AM Subject: Europa-List: Re: Full trigear speed kit vs hinge fairings only jonathanmilbank wrote: > I particularly like this quote from Bud: "The flap brackets (especially the outers) are a huge drag source.

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.
