Does anyone have any data on speed gained?? I'm also interested in any ideas for closing out the holes in the fuselage where the steps mount.

I've heard anywhere between none to 3 knots improvement in airspeed. I think, what it all comes down to is, if you want to take them off (leave them off), then do it. Of course, I say that to the women I meet also. Fletcher sold me a couple of pieces of aluminum, very neatly trimed and pre-drilled, that were, apparently, specifically made to close out the holes.

Looks like they were shortened just enough so that the weld is inside the fairing (10 inches +/- removed). Not as easy to find with the toe when gettting out but lots easier than steping up to the wing without them when getting in. I think it looks better too.
