Default RE: Could someone Dopler these for me?

my numbers were wrong lol. The engine was only turning 20,700 on the ground and the plane did 174 up wind and 191 downwind on the radar gun.

WJVAIL you keep saying the higher you are the faster the plane is this true? You would think with the air being thinner that the engine would make less power and the prop wouldnt "move" as much air either. It would be easier to pull the plane thru the air though.
