Re: Wing root fairing - it doesn't matter ....?

[Graham Clarke <gemin@cix.compulink.co.uk>]

Thanks for all the input guys - seems that we haven't got any absolute 
drage reduction figures to go on.

<Might add 5 knots to the cruise> seems mighty optimistic - takes quite a 
few horse power to do that, though of course horses add weight too - it 
would be magic to get that from a lightweight change. BTW nobody actually
said if they'd gouged out the foam in the root above the wing - I'm 
prepared to believe "it doesn't matter" in this case though.
