Grove Gear Climb and Speed Data Part 2

      Hi guys
      
      For those of you following this thread.  I have been progressively adding
      Grove gear to my O-360/Hartzell powered RV-8.  I was interested in how
      each additional component added (or subtracted) from speed and climb
      performance.  Speed numbers were obtained by GPS with full throttle (about
      19.4" MAP), EGT 1300, at 11,500 MSL--(This is about 65% power).

      but NO wheel pants.
      
      Grove w/all fairings and              Data Coming Next Week
      wheel pants
      
      **Note:  Stall speed (clean) was reduced by 7 knots with the addition of
      intersection fairings.  See www.RV-8.com for the theory behind this -8
      phenomenon.
