Not quite so.
G-RICS is also flying in taildragger form. Speed (with no fairings on
either wheels or legs) is reported to be no different. Weight is claimed
to be less (the single-piece carbonfibre leg weighs 12 lbs), but on
G-RICS turned out about the same (assuming that the aircraft hadn`t
gained any weight since its original build).

flying, and it has so many other mods that direct comparisons will be
impossible.
