Paul,

 Any idea how Dave is doing at Reno..  I think qualifying starts tomorrow.
Or Wednesday?


 Matt-

 Tomorrow at 10 AM he qualifies.
 After he qualifies I'll try to inspect the new flywheel
 with a CC bore scope. Then practice at 3 PM maybe.

 We may be able to inspect the turbo charger turbine
 as well.

Good luck!!

I'm heading to RENO Friday after work.. I hope he's still going strong!

Take some video (with sound) if you can...


Matt-

I plan to record the sound and run it through a spectrum analyzer
so we can target muffler design. The trick is drive a speaker
on the input end and use a db meter to evaluate different
Helmholtz resonators.

Of course this is a turbo so it may not need a muffler.

I also  brought my Radio shack DB meter.

Cool..

I see Dave qualified today at 220mph and 229mph..  Right in there with
the RV-8(?).  That's pretty sporty for something with wheels hanging
in the breeze and a Hershey bar wing..  Good job!

When does he fly again?


Matt-

Try Real Fat Hershey Bar wing :)
