I think some of you are
missing my point... Almost any LNC-2 will go to 200
knots...
It's getting past the 200 knot
mark is not quite as easy. This takes the extra touches like more HP, light
weight, straight build, reduced drag, etc.
There are about a dozen
LNC-2's here and most of them get to 200 knots (not all) and a few get well past
that. Those few have allot more time into them to get them faster. The 200 knot
wall is not the end of the LNC-2 speed it's just the easiest to reach. That is
the power to drag limit on this design.
Increase the power, reduce the
drag and the limit is raised but it is in no way linear past 200 knots . It is
very exponential.

Oscar Grassle's 160HP 235/320 would go
240mph/208.5k at 3150rpm at 5500' dalt with my two-blade design; that's what
you would expect with a 187HP engine at 2700rpm. It would also go
233mph/202.4k at 3090rpm at 10,000' dalt, or the equivalent of 183HP engine at
2700rpm! These numbers were verified with a GPS on two-way runs. At 1000'
dalt, it would go 242mph/210.3k at 3200rpm, the same as a 189.6HP
engine at 2700rpm.
