Beagle,

Wheel pants and the gear leg fairings are on the schedule to get done but work has kept me so busy lately that it will have to wait a bit longer.  I am happy with the performance so far and so it has not been something that "has" to get done.  I did get a fairly good crack in my spinner and had to tak it off for repair, I think it slowed me down just a bit but hard to tell.  I had planned on posting a picture of that but just have not had time to get that done either.

I've heard   (from Burt)   that the spinner makes no appreciable difference in drag or speed.

I would have to agree with that.  Although I did not collect any flight data pre or post spinner, I cannot really seem to sense any difference with or without.  One positive would be that it did remove some weight from the plane.

I would take Burts word by default over anyone else concerning the plane but I wonder what Klaus has to say since he sells spinners?  I'm sure he would tell you that it's a neccesary item, and maybe it is at the speeds he is flying.
