Anyone out there who has flown their 601XL both with and without the wheel fairings?
I'd like a real apple to apples comparison on speed.

I saw from 5 to 7 knots difference with the wheel pants off. That's probably
a bit worse than if the pants were never there, since there's some mounting
hardware that's not easily removed.
The last snowstorm to hit the upper Midwest was my fault: I'd put the wheel
pants back on a week or so prior.

Looking at the other replies C I must be doing something wrong C but I only see a 3-4 mph difference with or without the standard Zenith wheel pants.
