Default RE: Revvers Must Read

Razor, a little speed secret here......take a 100 mph plane, then take a vicodin, now you have a 150 mph plane [8D]. Each vicodin seems to be good for about a 50 mph gain.
I miss Chuck Auger too, he contributed alot. This forum lost quite a bit when he vanished.
Der Steuermann was another great contributor. Hard core speed freak, the only thing he would use a 9x7 for would be to make a sandwich.
Thanks should go out to I-love-jets for his input here, too. His posts about piston speed planes and speed engines are fantastic.
