Hi Vleisbom.

The cheapest and easiest option here is to find yourself some friends that have slower aircraft than yours and go flying with them. ## puff

Gaylord I've tried that but it just disrupts the left overhead conbobulator. Much better without it. puff

Easiest way to gain airspeed...put a 20kg weight in your front seat..guaranteed to give you at least 8mph... ':-

I had a 503 windless a few years ago that I bought second-hand. It cruised at 70 mph :shock: I hated it because of the wind rush and I prefer to fly slowly and watch the world go by... I took the battens out of the wing and realized that they had been re-profiled significantly flatter than the original spec.

Once I had finished bending back to their normal shape, the cruise speed came right down to 50 mph.
