Way faster than most of the stuff that gets discussed here.
Nothing personal Mike, but isn't that a bit snobbish? I think the general attitude of this forum is changing. Is that the idea here, to be an elite group that only runs Jetts, Nelsons, OPS, Piccos and the like? What ever happened to:
"Do you love fast airplanes ? Do you strive to make that
plane...."just a little faster" ? Do you over-power your
planes ? Do you peak that motor to the Max.? Have you
ever scraped or sanded the numbers off your prop, so
your buddies can't be exactly sure what prop your running?
.............
If you want to have a little fun, join in. The "need for speed"
spans the Globe. We only need to promise.... not to argue
about our equiptment choices....or give out speed secrets
to anyone who lives within a 500 mile radius of your field" ?
Again, not to sound confrontational, but I think a true clarification is needed. If the forum is evolving, that's OK. I understand how technology changes and it becomes easier to accomplish certain benchmarks, but speed still costs money. I guess those of us who can't afford to do more than 150, will start a new forum like,
Mediocre Speed Prop Planes.
