 There is a company that makes retro fit fixed landing gear for Questair 
Ventures. The people that have installed this retro fit are reporting only a six

mile per hour drop off of their previous 275 mph cruise speed! I understand 
that retro fit comes from the fabulous speeds that the Cirrus and Lancair fix 
gear are getting from their well designed landing gear fairings. Is there a 
retrofit for Glasair twos and threes? Getting rid of heavy retractable and 
unreliable RG systems would be the way to go. I understand that the extra weight
of 
the RG that the Glasair two has to carry only allows the RG an extra six mile 
per hour cruise  over the Glasair fixed trike.
