Andrew, when you are talking about your speed; are you discussing a GPS--4 corner run or a ground track run? What type of test are you running...it could help us understand the speed numbers.

Guys, go to this web site regarding true airspeed testing. I’ve used it for years. It’s easy and very accurate.

The cowl is so big that the top ( side ) edges of the bottom cowl have
trouble clearing the two blades facing 4 & 8 o'clock position. I put plastic
guards on those two blades before I pull the cowl to prevent damage to them.
I have now figured out to lengthen the slot in the bottom cowl over the nose
gear strut fairing to allow the cowl to slide up that fairing with more
clearance. This gives more clearance on the blades. I will eventually make a
plate to cover this elongated slot. I have seen several RV-9As with this
set-up. Mark.

Mark you will have to spell out for this ole dog how a 10kt advantage on
a 3,000 mile trip would payout 1 hour of benefit. Both aircraft will
need to refuel and climb back up to cruise in the same approximate
timing. The 3 blade will climb faster and easier getting up to thinner
air and faster speeds and will lose some of the earned advantage at
altitude (in cruise). The 3 blade provides an edge in weather avoidance
and rapid descent.
A 10 knot advantage in a 300 mile trip is more likely. The two blade
owner will replace avionics more frequently, have his fillings replaced
and deal with stress cracks sooner. The 3 blade owner is more likely to
get complacent with the easy chair ride. It should all wash out when he
goes to remove that lower cowl and the 2 blade pilot is smiling at the
window at OSH, buying his ticket first.
We all need to take Tim's advise and get the vibrations to a minimum
while listening to the Beach Boys.

You're right!! It was a wag! I was just trying to say that I personally
don't care about top speed all that much. I should have known that some of
you more technically minded people would call me on it.
