Speed increase with Tail Link???
 
Has anyone documented a speed increase when changing from the traditional spring setup to any of the single tail link designs??

I had one on my -6. No increase in actual speed, but I knew it was
faster because it looked so cool :D

0.001 Knot (+/- 1.2 Knots) :)

But Tom is right - it LOOKS so much faster!

Chains that will just slow you down!
 
At least 5 knts.

I'm with Wayne
 
I'm with Wayne on this one. The purchase of my JDair tail steering link will get you some speed:D www.jdair.com. Okay, it will just look faster than clunky chains hanging off of there.

Seriously, I don't think you'll experience any speed gain (or at least be able to measure it.) Building aerodynamically clean will get you the most benefit in the speed world.
