As 236mph is 26mph above the Vans flutter tested Vne (probably somewhat
conservative). Has Tracy Saylor made any control system mods? Mass balanced
rudder?

Not that I know of but I will ask tomorrow.

All our guys on our taxiway are pushing the envelope as far as flutter
is concerned. Klaus Savior is going 242 MPH with a Variez. Dan Wright is
getting ready to race his real slick SX-300 again.  Dave Anders is not
on 
our SZP taxiway but he visits frequently to get the latest tech. 
He is worried that his new 500 HP Lycon souped up and turbo'd IO-550 
in his Questair Venture is a bit much. We shall see at Reno coming up
the tenth of next month.
