I recently started polishing my 601-HDS and am now finished with the right wing from wing tip to the splice area. My plane has never been painted, except for the fiberglass pieces.
I took 2 cross-country trips recently and noticed that the plane has a new tendency to drift left when flying hands off, so I keep correcting myself. It dawned on me that the unpolished left wing now has more drag than the polished right wing and I noticed my airspeed to be a tad higher. What a hoot! I will start on the left wing before finishing the right wing so restore the balance.
No Subaru issues. The carbs' jets are set at the rich setting for the summer and I cruise at 3800RPM (95+ mph). No need for speed here, just enjoying the cruising around.
