Brunner just reported he got another 5 knots but refuses to disclose the source of the improvement.    He has now left for Baltimore today and I am unable to inspect the Legacy.

OK, I apologize.  It will now be known as a "thingy" hanging off the bottom of the Evolution, the purpose of which may, or may not, be to smooth the airflow and reduce drag.   I may place an order for a test "thingy", tape it on and report on the results.

Really.  Come on give him a break.  The evo hinge is sculpted to be
aerodynamic or at least good looking.  You can get or make fairings
for the legacy hinges.  I think Ron Jones used to make some.  Like
most everything else on our planes, and I quote from the knowledgeable
Doug Brunner, it will increase your TAS 5 kts.  Just kidding I don't
think anyone has really tested it.  I think if you like the looks, put
them on.

and that isn't a useful response.  What a waste of electrons for hundreds of people.  Sheesh.
