Gear door kit
I have purchased a gear door kit but after talking to people that have fitted a number of kits on 210 and 337and people who have had them fitted they inform me it takes off 5 knots cruise
Aldo this came from a reputable person who is an authority on 337s and hold seminars also told me of the loss in speed Your remarks please |

Your message leaves a lot of information unknown. I assume you are referring to the gear door deletion kit? Please provide some details, aircraft model, kit, location etc

I have the gear delete kit *and* 3 bladed props *and* vortex generators. Based on that I should have the slowest 337 in the world....just the opposite is true. I make book numbers all the time.
See attached. The other day I was 155ktas - 158ktas at 10500'msl on 18gph/108pph. Hot day and DA was over 12k.

He did say KIAS, which should be just about right, at least where 24 square is possible.
