Dave,   You are alive after all!  Yep great record and just needs another prop to better the record and possibly a few other things,  but not having been there it is unfair to comment.  I think I insulted PL when I suggested it was worth only about $50,000 to buy back.  $30,000 for the engine and $20,000 for the rest.  The motec ECU was a very expensive error in hindsight.  I cannot understand where the $500,000 went to, to the effect that they now cannot afford to find $5000 for another prop.    If the figures are correct some one did very well out of the exercise.  Then I wasn't there as I said.

Hi All, 

I just realized that I had not seen mention of this on the the FlyRotary list.

A top fuel rotary powered Harmon Rocket recently crushed the World Time To Climb record to 3000M (10000ft), shaving more that 20 seconds off the previous record of over 2 min to 1 min 40 sec.  

Rare Bear (a highly modified and famous Bearcat) once set that record at 1:32 but it has been retired due to change of rules.

There is talk of giving it another try and beat even Rare Bear's unofficial record.
