Speed trials in the spring ?
Daryl,
If this is going to be a competition, there will probably need to obviously be various engine classes so the flying classes are matched.
I personally like to just do some open flying with everyone interested in the same type of speed flying. It's fun to see what the other planes and pilots can can do with different airfames and engines. Most pilots I know just like doing their own thing and hanging out with pilots who have like interests. It's a lot more relaxed. Of course running the traps is also something I would like to do just to see what my hardware is capable of. Most pilots I think would like to know what speed their planes are able to do.
I don't think anyone is really chasing speed records, because the FAI isn't really setup to handle speed records for propeller driven planes unless you go in circles. They don't even have a record class for straight run high speed prop planes over .60 size.
