REFLECTOR: Anyone flying without bottom singlets?

[Brian Michalk]

I am flying without the winglets.
I would like more directional control, and am compensating with faster 
approaches.  I believe I will be testing them to see if they allow me 
better control at slower airspeeds.

This will probably happen this fall after things cool off.  I was at the 
airport testing on Saturday, battling my high temps.  It's just too hot 
right now to tackle all of the minor squawks I've got.  On my last 
flight I advanced the timing slightly and got a hot #3 cylinder as a 
result, but my oil duct cooling scoop seemed to work keeping my oil 
temps below redline.
