RE: Speeding up a trainer?
If you are just in the mood for some cut-n-try, cut-n-fly entertainment, just trim a bay off of each wingtip. It will increase takeoff and landing speed, and will probably increase top speed up to a point. If you repeat the exercise, at some point the wing will be low-enough aspect ratio that it will start making appreciably more drag and the thing no longer go faster with less wing area.
