200-plus MPH isn't too bad for an RV-12! I can't take credit for this, someone else was borrowing my plane... still pretty cool.

Most have been at altitude with high true airspeed...

Actually, Dale has the prototype Van's hybrid "RV-12H" passenger pedal accessory kit that will add pedal power to the plane. After several user complaints about rudder pedal / bike pedal layout and having to constantly eat power bars and slam Red Bulls while flying, it was scrapped. But, Dale really likes it. I keep telling him the biking shorts won't reduce drag inside the plane. :D
 
Sigh... looks like I never will stop taking cr** from you guys about the 12. That's OK. It flies. I just have to leave a little earlier than you.
