REFLECTOR: Speed Brake

[Dan Fast]

Hi Randy and Becky....congratulations and welcome...To
answer your question, you don't need the speed break
on the RG, it is primarily for the fixed gear version,
however, their may be some benefit to protecting the
prop from gravel or stones that maybe thrown back by
the nose wheel...personally I wouldn't waste building
time for that reason, because I rather be flying then
building LOL....Dan--- Randy Wharton
