Regarding the current thread on going faster with smooth paint/ polished
aluminum;
The CAFÉ group of Northern California specifically ran tests less than 3
years ago on an extensively instrumented test bed airframe to determine
the effects of a professional wax job and resulting performance.
Troy Petteway's KR2 massaged 0-200. His plane will do more than
220 mph
Steve Alderman has a similar plane...radical 0-200 engine ... will push
220 mph
...
Really glad someone asked - I like the answer. I accept that a quick KR
will take some dedicat

Troy's wouldn't break 200 mph with the VW engine and the old wing. The
higher speeds came about after adding the new airfoil and the 0-200.

Any rough idea of how much was contributed by each one?

Indisputable evidence exists that reducing drag has a huge impact in speed.

Larry, The glider boys have found that if you matt your wing the drag is
appreciably less, hence before a contest you see all these fellows flatting
there wings with water paper.
No one has explained this to me satisfactorily, has anyone heard a
plausible explanation
Cheers
