    Default speed fairings

    Hello fellow teamkitfoxers and Happy thanksgiving! Its been really windy here with winds constantly at 20-25 with gusts upto 30+. I've had my series 6 flying for a bit now and chose to put on my speed fairings on the wing struts! I was very surprised that I seen such a jump in speed at cruise. At 4800 rpm and level flight my Ipad with foreflight gps was showing a ground speed at 115 mph, and I still don't have my wheelpants on yet! Very pleased ! Thanksgiving blessings to all!

    Happy Thanksgiving Patrick.
    The best speed mod is the wing strut fairings. Usually 10 to 12 mph jump in speed at same power settings. Enjoy your 6.
