Do any of these increase the stated 147 mph cruise speed? What is the number with all three?

Does the 3 Blade hurt cruise? What about takeoff and landing, does it have more static thrust for takeoff and more of a braking effect on landing?

Thanks
 
Wheel pants will pick up about 3-5 mph from whatever you are at without them.

The speed kit does not have a large effect, maybe 1-2 mph if you are lucky. Most importantly it smooths out the flow by the strut/wing attach and reduces the fabric buffeting behind the front strut.

The 3-Blade MT has been found to pretty much be all sex appeal. We have not seen any performance advantage over the 2-Blade MT. It just looks like you belong parked next to the Extras. :p
