Paul,
 Was filing and re-reading comments on the site.  Several times you
have, quite properly, pointed out that drag reduction and not
horsepower is the best way to increase speed.
 I've found Kent Paser's book, SPEED WITH ECONOMY,  interesting and
often informative.  If you don't know it, perhaps you might find it a
source of drag reduction ideas for the class of airplanes most people
on the site seem to building or flying. I have tried to implement
several of his notions, with varying degrees of success.  The failures
are almost certainly due to my inabilities, not his.

You get it from Paser Publications, 5672 West Chestnut Avenue,
Littleton, Colorado 80123.  The price used to be $24.95, plus $3.50
shipping and handling.  I have never met Mr. Paser, nor seen his
airplane, but it certainly did well when he was racing it.  It has
nothing to do with rotary engines. Tom

That's OK Tom. A lot of the guys running rotaries need to
pay more attention to drag lest the rest of the world
starts to believe rotaries don't make power :-)
