Two questions maybe you can help explain to me:

1. Have seen numerous mentions of the 601 being 'draggy'. While I
do understand what drag is, what in the aircrafts' design contributes to
this drag?

2. Have downloaded a number of homemade fixes for problems encountered
by other builders, or simply improvements in the 601s'
characteristics. Would any of you mind mentioning things you've done
to make the aircraft less draggy? I appreciate it.

And no, building has ground to a halt until my "builders nestegg" and
the market go back up (hope it isn't too long....)

Merry Christmas to all of you, blue skies, and a silent nod to those who
protect us.

John,

Would recommend buying Kent Paser's book, Speed with Economy and using that
as a background for doing things in addition to the usual: wheelpants, small
gaps at wing lockers and wing splice skins if you have an HD/HDS model,
correct engine thrust, good rigging.

tj do not archive
