Speaking of speed, at Brodhead I got several comments from the boys I flew in with (Jack Phillips and Gene Rambo) how they couldn't believe how fast I was going on the way over there from Poplar Grove.....76 MPH. Not bad for a model A and a huge radiator in the way. Don't really know what my secret is, although I suppose I could attribute it all to my (expert) prop-carving abilities. But seriously, after sitting through some airfoil forums at OSH I surmised that it just might have something to do with the fact that I supported the aft edge-top of the wing LE ply so that it couldn't (didn't) sink-down with the fabric shrinking. What do y'all think?Dan HelsperPuryear, TN-----Original Message-----
