"This will be a very exciting year," Mr. Behel told
us. "We will have Darryl Greenameyer, [former
multi-time Unlimited champion] with his
turbocharged Legacy, which has flown now.
(First flight just a couple weeks ago). Without
much boost, he was seeing 250 knots. With a little
boost, he's going to really go fast. Lancair isn't
entering this year, but they're giving a lot of
support to Darryl." What about last year's
winner? ("How to Win at Reno: Don't Quit, Go
Fast," 09-21-00, ANN). "Dave Morss, who flew
the winning Lancair last year, is not, at this
moment, signed to fly. He's negotiating with some folks."
One fixture of Reno, a winner, what, every year? in the
1990s, will not be flying this year, as he develops his Nemesis
NXT: Jon Sharp is sitting this year out -- he was
flying Dan Wright's Swearingen last year. Dan's not
entered this year, and Jon's not flying. "We're way
behind schedule," as
far as racing the Nemesis NXT, said his missus, Patricia
Sharp, just last night. "We will be there, though," she
told us. "Jon will signing autographs at the Aircraft Spruce booth
on Saturday."

We've been told that "a side by side flight of two
Van's Aircraft Factory planes from Oshkosh to the factory in Oregon
demonstrated fuel efficiencies of 15 to 23% on a fixed
pitched PowerLinkTM FADEC equipped RV over a constant speed
propeller equipped RV. The planes were flown by Van's
Aircraft personnel and the fuel efficiencies reported are based on
their reported fuel usage.
Full Authority Digital Engine Controls allows single lever,
electronic fuel injection for piston powered general aviation
aircraft.
Aerosance says that, "With some heads-up thinking before buying,
you can reduce the cost of PowerLinkTM FADEC by
thinking spinner to eyeball."
