The differences are only 5 kph and these can be trim,fuel, altitude and weather dependant too.

I just retested after years of promising myself not to.

The FW series are very elevator trim dependant.

I could make the speeds very different between the aircraft if not correctly trimmed.

Thanks for proving my point... You are 5kmh slower with the Bomb Rack in your test. In the previous test it could be more dramatic. Yes I've been flying the FW for several years and I'm aware of the trim issue which can make up the difference with 5kmh however I can get it to show more of a difference as illustrated above in the previous test.

The point is the Bomb Rack does affect Performance depsite the fact you say it has no effect. I know you want to say it can be trim or weather depandant but if you continue to test you will see the bomb rack adds drag.

I suggest you do some more testing. See how it effects your turn rate and the fact you bleed speed much more rapidly than in a clean configuration.
