Re: [FlyRotary] Re: 6 port? Yep, but remember this was with the RD-1B gear drive. In 2004 Sun 100 I ran the -C drive and ran at 189.? Kts, same as Bobby Hargrave. =20 =20 These speeds really do not prove anything in the way of HP though. Aircraft fit, trim & fairing detail make much more difference than raw HP. Tracy Sailor's 180 HP RV-6 did not go 206 Kts on horsepower. The many years of tweaking on the airframe did it. Dave Anders 200 HP RV-4 now goes 260+ MPH : same story there. =20 =20 Hi Tracy, =20 Are the 2004 race results posted anywhere? I looked for them, but only came up with the 2003 results. =20 =20 I understand about the airframe tweaking too. Some of those guys have really made impressive gains by doing hundreds of tiny changes. I sure don't have the patience for that, and neither does Bob, which is why I picked his plane for a comparison. =20 =20 I know they didn't have the race last year, but I haven't heard if it's gone for good, or if it will be coming back. Is there going to be a 2006 race?

I think = Tracy will be in=20 an 8 by then.
