Tracy  (just landed from first flight with Laura aboard with the RD-1C drive.  She liked it a lot!)

 

Well, that settles it then.  I was interested when you reported clawing your way into the air and over  the fence in your first max performance take off.  I was tempted when I witnessed that take off on the way to S & F, your 216 MPH race speed was exciting.   I was impressed by your 1600 fpm climb all the way to 10,000 ft.  BUT, if Laura liked it a LOT then that settles it, I want one NOW!  But, I guess I can wait until MY new monster 76/88 prop is near completion. 

Appreciate your performance reports, have to keep wiping my chin.

Laura described the climb as "like being on the space shuttle!".  

Just got the official race results from Sun 100 race.  They had an error in their original speed calculations and they sent the corrected results.  Didn't change the order of finising of course but my speed was actually 217.54 mph instead of 216.1.
