Default RE: looking for a phoenix 8
Rob,

Back in the seventies Dr. Maynard Hill set a speed record while <span style="font-size: larger"><span style="font-family: Arial">working </span></span>at John Hopkins Applied Physics Lab. If memory serves me the speed record was in the 180s (believe MPH). Doing some searching I noticed an article referencing Dr.Hill on wattflyer, progressiveengineer, and RCU: <span class="f"><cite><font color="#0e774a">www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=2214160</font></cite><font color="#767676"> (cached). </font><span style="font-size: larger">Remembering the story from then he made many attempts at getting the aircraft correct and the engine properly setup (glow, 10cc) and eventually was successful at setting the record. Much could be learned from his work should this progress beyond just a discussion.

Respectfully,

Mike Plummer</span></span>
