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.

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.
