"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." ... http://www.aero-news.net/news2001/0800/images/aerosanceRV8Luttrell0801a.gif ... oh gosh... that's me on the left in the blue... -Rob >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
