As Mitchell said - speed. Red Hamilton has averaged over 230mph in SARL races with an O-320 engine (150HP stock - his is not stock). The Tailwind is for speed, the Woody's Pusher is for low and slow sight seeing and photos, the Cessna is for load hauling, and something to fly while I'm building.

We’ve got a couple Carnival ships and other cruise ships docked at the Port of Tampa, not just at the cruise terminal but in the commercial ship docks, too. I presume those are empty except for crew and are just sitting there. I can see them from my office window. -D > On Apr 1, 2020, at
