Curious, what is the fastest groundspeed anyone has seen in a Europa for
at least a half hour?
At what altitude?

Ron,
Isn't this absolute meaningless?
I would understand and think it would be meaningful to get max indicated
airspeed with what type (tri or mono) and what engine and at what pressure
altitude.
Just my thought about this.

Hello Michael
"Ron, Isn't this absolute meaningless?"
I am a balloonist. I have an interest machines that are pursuaded to take
advantage of the atmosphere moving from high pressure to a lower pressure.
There are many a balloonist that break the hundred per hour mark.
Just wondering if a Europa has broken the 300MPH mark.
To me that is not meaningless, it means that a Europa pilot maneuvered his
craft in position with a hundred MPH tailwind.
Right conditions (Jetstream), perhaps glider wings, oxygen and I don't
think that 400MPH is out the question.
Choosing to fly when in favorable conditions can and does play an
important role into ultimate speed of a aircraft. Choose a day to fly to
Florida from New York on the East side of a powerful high pressure area,
and return on the West side and see if that does not put a smile on ones
face, even if flying a slug.
Sincerely
Ron Parigoris

Hi Ron,
I have seen 252 knots coming home from WA @ 21,000.
