Mark, some of the biggest airspeed improvements seen in the metal crowd are: Pressure recovery wheel pants, 4-5 more than the 6-8 than standard wheel pants. Two other true biggees are intersection fairings on the wheel pants and gear/fuselage attach points. Add another one, use gear leg fairings. Gear leg fairings used over that round training wheel on the front:-), would do wonders. You could be talking in the 12-15 range.
