You are correct that a major source of drag is the monowheel. When I flew 

the prototype in '95 (?), which had separate flap and wheel levers, I set up 

a stable trimmed cruise at 100 kt, and popped the mainwheel out. No change. 

Part of the reason I'm hoping my taildragger conversion may be a little 

quicker. My goal is 200 mph (at) 8000 ft. Well, you have to aim high....



The taildragger conversion - at least the attach structure (it uses tri gear 

main legs) is almost complete. All the internal bulkheads have been laid up, 

all that remains to do is a 10 ply carbon strap laid into the skin 

underneath (I'm awaiting for the loan of some vac bagging gear to do that) - 

I'll post some pix when it's done.
