I think the speed difference you see is from intersection drag because the 235 wing fairing is set for out of reflex whilst the 320/360 is faired beautifully at full reflex and taking the 3230/360 flap out of reflex will slow that plane down.

Rusty,

See, 235's are different!  I think the speed difference you see is from intersection drag because the 235 wing fairing is set for out of reflex whilst the 320/360 is faired beautifully at full reflex and taking the 3230/360 flap out of reflex will slow that plane down.
