Area 51 - more excellent illustrations, thanks for the view on the drag caused
by the speed kit fairings.  

I think from your results, the inference is that the speed kit actually 
increases
drag wrt the 'clean' airframe (Mono) - but maybe i have misinterpreted the
meaning of 'clean'?  

My main interest is a comparison between the drag for a Mono with no speed kit
fairings fitted vs just symmetrical 'pairs' for wing fairings fitted and for 
individual
fairings like the tail-wheel fairing installed.

Regarding your non-linear simulation of the door departure, are you able to 
generate
a short time-step 'movie' sequence that shows what the doors does as it
leaves the aircraft?  That would be really cool.

Thanks again for your efforts - very enlightening for us all
