FWIW, I was at Sun&Fun when Tolle set this record beating a P-51 to
3000'.  The sound was a high pitched 'shriek' and he went up at about a
45* angle. Awesome!

I was able to sustain 2700 fpm with the rev-1 version, and 5 psi of
boost. Since I don't have a turbo now, or nitrous, or the ability to
turn high rpms, Allen's record is pretty safe.  Hmmm, maybe I should add
some nitrous nozzles to my new intake, just in case :-)

Rusty (not serious about the nitrous)
