A little further info from my database:  I already noted that the average

"claimed" 75% performance was 93.5% of mfg's stated top speed in my

database.  Interestingly, the average numbers for the entire RV series (32

models from RV-3 to RV-10 inclusive, if you count all the engine sizes

identified for each model) is 95.3%!  I'm not knocking Van's (I have an

RV-4), I just wonder how they do it?  If the math is insurmountable, the

Cd's must be very low...  Mine is not as fast as it's supposed to be, but I

have the old style wheel pants, no lower strut fairings, and poor fitting

upper strut fairings.  I know those are critical---I plan to clean them all

up this summer.  I once had just one upper fairing on the right side come

loose and slide down the strut about 10 inches (held by a spring).  Cost me

20 mph in cruise speed!



I'm not *even* going to talk about antennas!!



Regards,
