Default RE: New Great Planes Revolver

it was actually 129.6 mph but i rounded up. the gps was a garmin for cars lol i just stuck in in the canopy with lots of foam. it was very windy today. so my thought were that i would be wide open on upwind then idle on down the open up again once turned up wind. i did that four times then landed. I got 120.4 upwind. took off then flew wide open for four more laps then landed. no climbs or dives stayed with in 50 feet of ground whole time. down wind was 138.9. This was with the gear on and no wheel pants.

I have another 5mph i think in the plane when put the wire skid back on. I can put a pipe on it too, but now only get about 9 minutes of full throttle on the 14 ounce tank. when there is no wind out i will do another test. the gps also added about 7 ounces to the plane. I really think 135-140 is in it.
