I'm assuming that was with conservative tab, and trim settings???? Once you dial it in it will really perform.....:sifone:

"I wasn't even using my good props..... or

one engine wasn't running right....or

I had too much fuel on board.......or

I had another inch of throttle left.....or

My googles were smeared so I stayed conservative...."

Classic boat racer excuses.... :D

Bottom line....if I could figure out how to shoot flames out of the exhaust at the dock....I'd have it all... :p

easier on the drives and greatly decreases the chances of blower ballistics doing it that way... enough rum drinks and it could actually be fun too.....

At 24,791 MPH the crew of the command module Apollo10 reached the greatest speed ever traveled by humans.

At 154.17 MPH, Harry Egger holds the title as the world's fastest speed skier.

On the same day, in May 1999, Daren Powell clocked in at 125.463 MPH on his snowboard.

In October 1997, Thrust SSC, the first car to exceed the speed of sound, reached 763.035 MPH, the fastest one-mile land speed on record.

Although its normal cruising speed is Mach 2.2, the Tupolev has reached Mach 2.4 (1,600 MPH) and reigns as the world's fastest airliner.
