RE: Wanna see some really fast warbirds?
Hey bob, very lengthy post! I think it is pretty obvious that they are different means to the same end. I would not however compare them to a turbine using jet propulsion. I am also not suggesting that there be mixed pylon racing in a very strict, and well designed, legacy racing event such as Q40, Q500 etc where rules are very specific in leveling the playing field. But in very open ended events like this war bird event I really don't see what the big deal is. You have a VERY open to interprention requirement of airframes and a very very very open engine class. The fact that you had the fastest guy running a Nelson .40 in a cub against other scale war birds using sports motors is plenty proof of that. Might as well throw electrics into the mix at that point.
