I think that people just obsess with the number...I just like the experience. I can measure my RPM, and my prop, and I guess that's good enough for me.

And the chances of me getting a policeman to park on the runway while I dive at him are mega slim. :stupid:

And I don't see how a person standing between 2 points 500 ft apart could accurately tell when the plane passed each point..even if you had a guy wave a flag at each end I don't know....seems like a pretty good margin for error.


So I guess you'll have to have the contest without me....seems like quite a bit of hassle over nothing more than ego and bragging rights. Now if money was involved
