So with all this thunderstorm activity, I had a bit of cabin fever and decided to do some speed mods. I started out with LFS tank fairings and nose gear fairing and I was consistently averaging 132 true.

Last week I did LFS Fancy pants and K2U aileron, flap, flap to fuselage and stabilator trim gap seals, K2U flap Hinge fairings and K2U wing root fairings. I'm now averaging 142 true. I saw 145 yesterday.

Climb rate seems better, maybe 150fpm increase. I was hoping for more. Aileron and elevator response is noticeably better.
