Yup, CG, you're right, but really, a Mustang looks best rolling in on the field in a power dive, about 20 degrees down from 2-300 feet, strafe the field, pull up, victory roll, wash, rince, repeat!

With the baffle removed from the muffler (lost when the muff bolt sheared last year, gained 400rpm static!), the 'stang is achieving low 90's mph across the field, per dopler. What a rush!

That means, coming outta those dives, it's turning well in excess of 15K. No performance issues in over 70 flights (that's about 10 airborne hours, about 2/3rds of them wide open!)

It's still getting faster as it continues to break in. What a wonderful engine!
