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 Charles Raymond craymondw@aol.com -----Original Message----- From: Glasair-List Digest Server Sent: Thu, Oct 19, 2017 3:11 am Subject: Glasair-List Digest: 0 Msgs - 10/18/17 * ======================== Online Versions of Today's List Digest Archive ======================== Today's complete Glasair-List Digest can also be found in either of the two Web Links listed below.
