Wheel Pants
      
      
      Tim, 
      I ran my plane at 1,000' with out the wheel pants then landed. I installed the
      wheel pants and went back up to 1,000' and used the same power setting. 
      With wheel pants I got about 5 ~ 7 MPH faster than without. This would be at the
      upper end of cruise power. and indicating 135 MPH. I would lean more to the
      5 MPH since it was not in real smooth air. Another thing is that CHT's run about
      8 ~ 10 deg. lower with wheel pants on. I attribute this to buffeting around
      the nose wheel being eliminated by the pants.

Fuel Tank Filler
From:

      I'm about ready to weld up my fuel tanks.  I have this type of filler:
      
      http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/fuelFlange.php?clickkey=45351
      
      Should this be welded to the inside of the tank or dropped through from the top
      and welded?
      
      I know some have had issues getting the right spacing on the nose skin and wanted
      to ask before I welded.
      
      Thanks in advance,
      
      Randy B.

      Very interesting, especially the observation regarding the effect on CHT's.
      
      Thanks!
