After installing a turbo prop engine into a GL111 Bob Gravinsky said:" I
didn't get the speed I wanted because of a wing fairing turbulence problem. Not
only could I hear the buffeting, I could feel it. The wing fairings for the
Glasair line are wrong!!" Reno is more luck than any thing else. A slight
mishandling of the controls, bad wake turbulence and what ever will make huge
differences in performance. A ten mile straight run will give more accurate results.

I know very little about airplane racing, so this
should be considered a newbie question.
Wouldn't a trangular course be more accurate for measuring
overall speed? At least I remember reading something about
this when measuring speed with a GPS or similar...
It would seem to me that racing is racing, regardless
of the vehicle, so mishandling of controls etc is
just part of the game. If the pilot, race car driver,
sail boat captain, whatever, is really good, they don't
make those mistakes. If they do, they lose the race... *smile*

Everyone knows that the Legacy had engine problems and still beat the GL111
even though running on only four cylinders.

You just can't seem to accept verifiable data can you? Given equal
horsepower the Legacy and Glasair III are the same speed.

I didn't know about any engine problems
(and I at least like to think I am someone... *grin*).
Can you post any references to confirm this?
