Good Afternoon,

I have been flying our KF 7 trigear configured without wheel pants. Does anyone have any data on what the difference is with vs without wheel pants with regard to drag.

Do the wheel pants result in a significant enough drag reduction to show up as a measurable increase in cruise speed? Any specific experiences for those who have run their KF in both configurations?

Are there any problems experienced with crud (grass/mud/snow) building up and causing interference with the tires? For those who have them - is there a need to pull them off during the winter because of ice/snow buildup inside?

Any ideas about how much weight which will be added with wheel pants?

Thanks,

Sincerely,

Dave S
