She's definitely cleaner without the cylinder head.

If you brake the prop, it will glide MORE. It seems counterintutive, but a freewheeling prop has more drag than a stopped one.

RE: Need source for canopy for Curare
 
Andy,

you are right. It is quite noticeable too!

I am thinking off adding the spoilers like the original design. In the articles I have it was suggested that they were there to balance the nose up effect of dropping the flaps. I did not add them as I simply mixed out that effect in the Flap function of my 9303. Now I am wondering if they will add enough drag to slow her down a bit. I'll try it and see!

After that I may just need a parachute to slow her down! Or perhaps I should just accept that I am probably getting slower in my old age and she is just fine!! :)

Now I just need some BPA/SPA competitions up here in the north east!
