Turbo Arrow Speed Mods and Result
So I made the plunge and installed all the speed mods I could. This baby is slick now! I usually reduce power at about 1000 AGL, but decided to leave it at 41" for a little bit longer and this is what happened.
I heard that there is an STC'd Mach condensation collector out there, but they are hard to come by, especially today. Any help appreciated......

Ha! Too funny! (Nicely done). So do you have any stats on your speed mods?

No official stats there Scott, although I am going to have my installer add a Mach meter to our new panel.
I've been reading up on the challenges in the trans sonic regime, and found that a coke bottle shape fuselage reduces drag considerably. I can't find a mod for that, but I'm thinking if I put a really long belt on the fuselage in front of the cargo door and pull it really tight it will have the same effect.
I asked the FAA about doing that and they gave me the name of a nice doctor for me to talk to within 48 hours.
Happy April Fools Day everyone!
