I haven't posted or been on VAF for a LONG LONG time so I decided to post a video of my RV to show what these things can do and to help motivate folks to get their RV projects completed and in the air! I took this video 1-3-2013 of my RV down low near my base airport wide open to see what she'd do. 3,000ft MSL, indicated airspeed 217-218mph/188knots, 28.8" manifold pressure x 2,680RPM, 47f/9C outside temp, 15.7 gph, 227mph ground with bumpy air and no wind conditions. Yes it's past redline. I've done flutter testing at this speed with caution. I wouldn't advice going past redline without proper attention to much detail with every aspect of the airplane. My airplane is not stock VAN spec btw. To date I have 696 hours on my RV and I LOVE it!!!! The second video is cruising at 7,500 ft on a trip.
