I had some wheel problems one day, and flew it with one on and the other in the back of the airplane. It was almost 5 mph indicated faster.

He surely wished that he hadn't done that. She slowed down a whole bunch. (greater than 5 mph) You could probably take that with a grain of salt, but from what I have seen, I could believe it.
