Chrissi,
I was once thinking (for about 30 seconds) of using a stock transmission a
la George Graham, but leaving ALL the gears in and putting a clutch next to
the rudder pedals. This way you'd really have a reverse, plus you could
change down for the climb and shift to a higher more economical gear for
cruise. Discretion got the better part of innovation, and I bought Tracy's
RD-1B redrive. Pity. No reverse.

But just think about pulling alongside Tracy in the Sun-N-Fun 100 and the expression on his face when you downshift to pass....
