Tom and Greg,
You guys know what will happen when you go to Reno and start frightening the
piston engine gang with your speeds.................They will change the rules like the
sports car guys did and either penalize you with rules (weight or class change) or
outright ban Rotary engines from competing...............

Greg: dang...thought I found another Reno Racer... I plan on racing my Venture...I think it will be plenty fast. I have had some experience with the Legacy. You souls see 300plus without to much trouble at 425hp. That would get you in the Silver Sport Class Kind Regards

A correction on this Tom. We hung Aerochia's speed mods on the AC, which included leading edge fairings on wings, and elevators, and a fuselage overlay, that in combination, are supposed to buy us several knots of airspeed, and look great. NO racing in this guy's agenda at Reno, unless we just get some amazing numbers when all is said and done.

Greg: Thanks for the update.....wish I could report as much progress on my Questair Venture. I am currently finalizing my dry sump/engine mounting plate and should have a completed fuselage by summers end or early fall.I am most likely a couple years behind you. You mentioned Reno Mods...Are you planning on Racing in the sport class. Also I think your choice of the Dynon Skyview through the Auto pilot and transponder is a great choice. I sell a lot of Dynon to homebuilders. I have a friend of mine who just installed the Skyview 10.5 in his Lancair IV P. It really works nice and has a decent price point.
Kind Regards

Hey Tom;
Still Waiting for the final engine dyno tests, but in the meantime, we have completed all of the Reno speed mods, landing gear, lights, rudder, elevator, and aileron trim servo wiring. Totally rebuilt the canopy and have been installing controls for the cowl flaps at the radiator and oil cooler doors, and it goes without saying, hours and hours of filling, sanding, and primer. We have finally settled on avionics, we are going with Dynon Skyview, with the autopilot and transponder, and we are excited about that. More as we proceed.
