Well, I just re-read my previous post, & I'm wondering if bad sentence 
structure is contagious. :-( Sometimes editing an email does more damage 
than good.

Anyway, it's hard to argue with Lipps' success at Reno. However, the 
climb numbers that he published on the VAF forum (for an RV) didn't look 
that great, so I suspect that he gives up a lot of climb to get that 
superb high speed performance. With enough excess HP (common on most 
homebuilts these days), I'd consider giving up some climb efficiency in 
exchange for cruise performance. But I hate to waste even $20 on a book 
that's unable to present its info in a useful format.
