Re: an RV-4 at 202 MPH.
I had an RV-4 for 5 years with a 150 hp O320 and could never get over 198 mph
TAS at full throttle.
I also ran against 2 other RV-4s with 160 hp engines at 5000 ft. for 20 miles
and at the end there was less than 1/4 nile between us.
If Tracy is getting 202 MPH TAS with his airplane he is getting more hp.
