I think with proper fairings on the wheels the difference in drag
between a tri-gear and a mono wouldn't be that much. This year I plan to
replace the mickey mouse fairings by properly shaped fairings. The
frontal area of the outriggers, mono wheel and tail wheel might still be
smaller but I think these items are more difficult to clean up
aerodynamically.
And of course I don't think I'm a good enough flyer to keep the thing
under control in the various and sometimes challinging situations during
my travels.

I tried but something clearly went wrong... I will keep practising. ;-)
