Hello everyone!

Just curious if anyone has real world experience with the Cessna 400 series speed covers by Premiere Aviation?

I have a 425 Conquest 1 and was just looking for others that might have installed them and see what the feedback was.

Thank you!

I installed them on my previous 421 and had great results. Now, I use them on my 441, very pleased with them. Also did a write-up about them in Twin Cessna Magazine, see below. Overall, they are easy to install and I have not had any issues with them.

I installed hubcaps on my 414A several years ago. They worked as advertised. However, when I installed them on my 425 they didn't really improve anything. With drag increasing at the square of speed, I think the only thing that can make the airframe go faster is horsepower.

And no, I do not have the spar-strap. I know that kills hubcap performance.

Conquest one has more power and a higher pitch angle than a 421C, which is more drag.

So do are you saying that by reducing some of the drag with the speed covers it helps more on the 425 airframe?
