How much speed does leading edge tape cost on a bonanza?
I may want to remove some tape.

I'd expect small surface imperfections to matter in a laminar flow wing, but not much in a conventional wing like on a Bonanza or Baron.
While there is lots of discussion, I haven't seen convincing numbers that even boots make much of a difference on barons.

I think the T has a few more knots in it, but I've never flown one There are fixed gear C-182 STC Kits out there that add fairings where the nosegear strut enters the cowling and items to seal up the gaps on the wing flaps and ailerons, ect. So maybe more than 5 mph on a 182. https://www.knots2u.net/categories/cess ... tions.html

I may want to remove some tape. You should use Speed Tape then!

Who does buy new planes? (serious question). Unlike cars, there you gain a lot of real functionality with better airplanes - and I think new almost always ends up more expensive.

I’ve said before most folks on BT aren’t Cirrus’ target market. I can count on one hand the number of folks on BT that have bought a NEW plane since I joined 8 years ago.

Roughly how many hours a year do you fly? I can see it making sense if you put lot of hours on the plane so operating costs dominate.

I fly about 150-200 a year but the reason for the M600 purchase was that I could get insurance before I turned 70,the insurance that I was quoted would let me continue to fly the aircraft that I was in for a period of time after age 70 but it would not let me move up to a higher performance aircraft.
