Flight Bonus Package
The Flight Bonus packages contain five components, including streamlined nose gear, streamlined main gear, a cowling and propeller closure kit, low drag wing strut fairings and a contour kit, plus flap well and aileron gap seal kits.
The new torque link replaces the original Cessna scissors torque link. Hortons link holds the front tire above the slipstream of the propeller, so that the nosegear doesnt drop down on takeoff and become a speed brake. The new cowl fairings are simply attached over the lower portion of the Cessna lower cowling. These new fairings direct the slipstream around the nose gear and nose gear strut for a reduction in overall drag
