Hi,
I recently bought a beautiful Acroduster II (787WM).
I performs great, except the cruise speed (with two people on board)
is closer to 110 - 115 kts (125 - 130 mph), and not around 125 kts as I expected.
it's empty weight is around 1200 lb, it has a bubble canopy and an aluminum landing gear?
Does anyone have any idea how to reduce the drag? (maybe a more streamlined cowling would help, or any other ideas?)
Thanks,
Avi Maltzman.
