Just a little video for ya. This is an 89 mph high speed pass. A small cam pointing at my face would be hilarious. I will have to work on that one.

Nice and thanks for posting a link I could download! The stuff you guys put on Tims FTP site I can't download for some reason.

Maybe if I ducked down below my instrument panel I would pick-up a few more MPH ;)

My little whimpy 582 can push my machine to about 92-95. Used to do 95+ till I changed the gear ratio and decreased pitch in the prop.

That sounds about right. A decent pod generally will add around 10 mph.

Yeap but I still remember Louis Hartzler at Bensen Days two years ago racing with me around the patch in his Bensen with Super Mac engine. No pod or anything else special and we were a dead tie in top speed, and this was with my old Red Dominator which was a hair faster than my white one.

The fastest gyro I have ever seen fly is Carl Schieders two place. That thing seems to " Cruise " at 100. Jamie Bodies old Mad Max was a close second place...
