Mr. Palmer, 
    I also have the pilots curse of cataracts. They  aren't bad yet, the one 
in my right eye is small and the left is a little  larger. The only time I 
notice it in my left eye is from  an on coming car head lights at night or 
watching TV in a dark room.  The cause has been from ultra vilolet light from flying

for 51 years,  racing ocean going sail boats through out my teens, snow 
skiing and vacationing  on tropical beaches. Anyway,  I was able to increase the

speed of my  Glasair 2S FT, 200 HP by carefully aligning the wheel pants, 
closing up the  cooling and servo inlets, carefully fairing in the main and nose

gear at  the wing and cowling. I cruise 210mph at 8,500 feet. I flew formation

with  a Glasair FT that had a cruise of 222 mph. He ran a McCauley cs  prop and

I have a Hartzell cs prop. And he sawed off his wing fairings and  reflexed 
his flaps 2 degrees. I can't wait to read about the person that uses a  Spitfire

type of wing fairing. The predicted increase in speed is suppose  to be 
great. I toyed with testing the idea by taping an aluminum wing  fairing like that

on the fuselage and wing, but  worry what would  happened if it came loose.
