Before you saw off your wing fairings, I would look at the GL3 that did ove
r 400 mph at Reno. Back in the early 1990's a builder installed a "Spitfire
" type wing fairing on his Gl3 and nothing much changed. Ken Johnson had NA
SA wind tunnel tests done on his GL3 and found nothing much. A Florida Gl2
driver sawed off the rear of his wing fairings during the building process
and attached them to his flap so he could have the proper reflex and has t
he fastest Gl2FT I have ever seen, I think he cruises at 236 mph. Florida
Compo beach members performed measurements on Glasairs to see what makes
unusually fast ones and found fractions in difference. It wasn't until I s
anded off a heavy Centuri paint job and used the light weight PPG paint sys
tem, removed a heavy radio stack and installed a very light weight Garmin a
nd removed heavy upholstery for a total reduction of over 100 pounds in we
ight loss. Then had a Nascar mechanic rebuild my engine, exhaust and baffl
ing along with a blended foil c/p prop that I was able to break 190 mph cr
uise speeds and now see 220/230 mph. I was also able to reduce elevator up
trim that slows a plane down! My mechanic saw that the factory FT exhaust a
ctually choked the system!!! Now I have to use full right rudder and right
braking to prevent the plane from swerving onto the grass on take offs. A
nyone interested in a used Narco cheap? ----Chuck Raymond Gl2SFT driver
