I've heard some folks say they see an improvement with the pants on, while others say no help whatsoever.

I'm gonna fall in the "pro pants" camp. Mary Lou has her pants on (I know... it sounds weird...), and I will see at 3000 feet, say 20 C plus or minus... pressure between 29.90 and 30.1 at 2500 rpm 90 to 93 knots.

Back in 2009 I had the wheel pants off. Under similar conditions as above, I saw 87 knots consistently. I am a believer. Of course, others may (probably will) see consistent results independent of having wheel pants installed.

Who knows? But, I am a believer! grin
