Default correction
Just checked back in my email. The quoted speed was actually 268, not 278 mph. Its splitting hairs because its still pretty damn fast!

Not sure if the plane had main gear doors but I know it did on the nose gear. He ran the default Graupner retract setup. The speed was measured with a Pitot tube airspeed indicator.
