LOL!


agreed!

last year we towed the Tetra15 out to a mountain airstrip to do some late fall flying. On the way back my buddy flying the Colt towplane had it firewalled and I caught up and passed him. The air was smooth a silk and I was going as fast as I had ever gone in the ship............it was a great opportunity to expand the speed envelope. We have all the control surfaces mass balanced and the ship is incredibly torsionally stiff.........bet it would go faster....game on!
