Mark, Since I recently added pants I'd have to say I noticed little if any difference in the trim or the way the KR flies, other than picking up 12 to 15 mph. If you're wanting to adjust the horz stab while you're down for the engine, I'd say go for it and disregard the latter effect of adding wheel pants. Just remember, my advise is worth every cent you paid for it. :-) Larry Flesner
