That speed sounds really slow, maybe because it's military built. The gear door deletion kit does not reduce speed significantly enough to make any difference. If it's 2 or 3 knots who cares. That's like 5 minutes in a couple hour flight.
I consistently get about 155 kt TAS burning 18.5 gph with Horton STOL, MT's, Gear Door Deletion and large boom fairings
