Default RE: New speed plane

Just of note....

Ive known Ed for a number of years, flying pylon and all. Real nice guy, and an credit to Canada. Endless experience with engines and aircraft design. And he is a fun guy to drink with on occation. As you've noticed, he is not immune to stirring a turd now and then.... and thats part of his charm.

This is all in fun. If you take into consideration that us "pylon" guys spend hours/days/months trying to get a plane from 180 mph to 181 mph on the race course (and personally, I still sometimes get lapped) ..... it can be a bit humerous reviewing some of the 'speed' posts where someone changed a prop and picked up 25 mph (very general example).

Having said that... back to the topic....

I have no doubt this beast Dave and Erik have designed is going to haul some SERIOUS hiney. [&:]
