This would be a good one for Lynn to field. Our (he built, I adopted) N99387 is 'dialed in' to the point where, in level flight at full throttle it just 'nicks' red-line. No more no less. The plane is a strong climber, and cruises right up with the best of them. Some are a couple MPH faster, most are substantially slower. I'll try and remember to do a full-power run-up when I fly this afternoon, to refresh my memory, and post the results. Greg At 05:06 AM 8/8/02 -0700, Paul M.
