Default RE: Pat XL Radar Speed

A Radar Speed update:

Our "Radar Guy" brought his goodies to the field again today. After leaning the engine on the top end (see thread in Jett support) a week or so ago, I've got some new numbers.

Upwind passes: 152 and 129 mph
Downwind pass: 157 mph

Still running an 11x8 APC.

I do have video of one of the flights today. Will try to upload if anyone's interested.

Some other numbers I remember:

Little Toni (OS 90 Surpass): 133mph

We also run Avistars with OS 46s on them. They run about 90 mph. Yesterday, we had five up together, what a riot that was. Too much fun for $100 airplanes.
