So, what's the verdict? Good, Bad, or Ugly.

I THINK I MAY HAVE LOST A LITTLE SPEED (2-3) BUT OTHER THAN THAT I LOVE MINE. I HAVE HAD IT INSTALLED SINCE 1994 AND I SOMETIMES WONDER IF I WOULD DO IT AGAIN. BUT WHEN I ROTATE AND PULL UP THE HANDLE IT SURE DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE DRAG.....HUGE DIFFERENCE. ALSO ON THOSE OPPS TO FAST COMING DOWN APPROACHES I FEEL MUCH MORE CONFIDENT WHEN PUSHING THE LIMIT ON GEAR RETRACT. 140 MPH IS SOMETIMES HARD TO REACH WITH EVERYTHING ELSE HAPPENING. I DON'T SUGGEST RETRACT OVER THAT LIMIT AND RT WILL NOT ALLOW ANY NEW PARAMETERS, BUT WHEN THE NOSE COMES UP TO REACH THE 140 MPH I FEEL BETTER ABOUT DROPPING THE GEAR AT THE LIMIT POINT.

I THINK IT LOOKS FINE. CESSNA FACTORY LOOK.

The biggest problem I have regarding the mod is that it becomes a big vacuum hole and any, and I mean any oil leak from the front engine finds its way in to that void. Other than that, its okay.
