Gary,

Thanks for the info I will be ordering the speed kit up now. I will also
close up the wing root gaps as well thanks for that tip!

All the best

Kevin

Kevin,
I've had the speed kit installed on my trigear for almost 2 years now, and
flew it for 1 year without the speed kit.  It is definitely worth the modest
investment of money and time.  I'd guess that I picked up about 7 to 10
knots in cruise.

If you want more speed, seal up the gap between the fuselage and the wing
root fairing.  I used white "bathroom" silicon caulk.  This gave me another
3 to 4 knots.
