REFLECTOR: In pursuit of speed

[Mike Dawson]

Geoff,

Scott B. is right. If you are in to that much time and money for speed, I would ditch that climb fix pitch prop,  and go constant speed. If that doesn't do it for you then Turbo charge. You will find your speed at altitude!

Guys,

I contacted Clinton at Custom Aircraft Parts.  Turns out he was just going through his warehouse a week ago and came across a set of tack welded pipes for a IO-360 Velocity.  He sent me pics, and it looks like they will work.  So, I may have a set pretty quick.

Does anyone have any experience swapping wings b/w Velocities?  If I could find a set of normal SE wings and swap out my 173 wings?  Does anyone have a set of SE wings kicking around?  173 wings are essentially XL wings, right?  If so, perhaps there's someone out there building an XL who would like a set of fully completed wings and I could just buy a set of fast build wings from the factory.  If I got 15kts out of swapping wings, I'd do it.

Geoff
