    Hi Darrel, since most of the stuff I have done was accomplished during my build , I had no baseline to go by. From what I have read , the biggest improvements come from turning round tubes into airfoils, like you are doing with you gearlegs. I suspect that will yield measureable results for sure. Lift struts, jury struts and stab struts are also a great area to streamline. My cruise TAS is 120 MPH at 65 % power on my IO-240 and that seems to be the sweet spot even with my 22" tires.
