Tortoise and the Hare
RV builder Glenn Brasch (to be known as "Hot Line") decided to fly to the Garden Spot of Nogales AZ for lunch. Glenn is based out of Tucson Ryan field and I'm based out of Stellar Airpark in Chandler AZ. Glenn is currently flying a great looking Piper Tri-Pacer.
Glenn was about 15 mile out and I was about 30. I heard him check in and I monitored the frequency. I thought I might have a chance to catch him. At 5 miles he checked in that he would be doing a mid field crossover to enter the downwind. I didn't catch him but he was still taxiing when I landed.
Glenn had fellow RV9 builder, Roger Evenson with him. We had a nice visit and a gourmet meal. We decided to get some air to air photos on the way home.
Glenn took off first and I followed. I slowed to 75kts to not out run him. A little flap and we were paced. I asked Glenn if that was all he had. He said he was at full throttle. I got some nice shots.
I kid Glenn about the plane but it is great looking inside and out. I'd love to get some time in it.

This is obviously a static port issue.....

It's probably actually a posistion and installation error on the pitot installation, see also "Calibrated Airspeed" vs. "Indicated Airspeed"

Is that a stock nosewheel Glenn? It's been decades since I flew a Tri-Pacer, but it sure looks bigger than what I remember!! Maybe it's for jumpin' cactus....

No, you are both wrong--------he used the wrong primer, and now his paint surface is messing up the boundary layer airflow at speeds of 100kts +.

Hey Paul, it is stock, but it does look funny in flight hanging all the way down extended, doesn't it? Guess that is one reason why they call it a "flying milkstool"! |

Great looking pair!
Glenn:
Great looking TP. How about a couple of interior shots. SW Pipers are fun to fly. What was that other plane, a RV-?
