Default RE: Looking for a real FAST plane!

Good call Bob. I was going to post that link as well. But...he does not want a pylon plane?! Certainly the cheapest way to go. Funny how sweep gives most the mis-impression of speed. With our models, it really only gives crazy fast roll rate. Speed has more to do with engine power than anything else with clean airframe being right next to that. Sweep does not equal clean.
