Rick,

Do you know what version of the Duckhawk Chip was flying? There
appears to be three versions with progressively higher V speeds and
max wing loadings.

Thanks,

I can only say that it was flown about one hundred pounds under
the max gross of approx 860#. Conditions never required high
wingloading. Tasks were well called and all flights were challenging,
to say the least. The first practice day was a 100 knot ridge day,
but most did not fly it aggressively.

It's the middle model, the DuckHawk SV (Super Veloce), with the 200 knot
Vne.

Not that anyone would ever do such a thing, but you could do a pretty
impressive low pass with that VNE.

Now for the hopefully not $1,000,000 question. How much is a Duckhawk going
to set me back?

Pete

Not to open a bag of snakes or take anything away from Chip and/or the
DuckHawk, but Jerzy Szemplinski won the 15M Nationals. Nonetheless,
Chip is the US National Champion as the top American.

Kudos to all.

Then you could stand by the runway and yell "Duck!... Hawk!"
as it screamed by at 230 mph!

The version chip was flying for the contest was the DuckHawk SV. The
max gross weight is 960 LB and he never flew above 880 LB during the
contest.
Thanks,
