Ok so that is the understatement of the year, but in my mind “she” isn’t too bad. SO with the GT 450 and Whirlwind taking each other on, I think we should have a list of aircraft. I know we can figure in stuff like “cost” and “power to weight” and all that stuff, but I think let’s just go for something like speed

1) GT 450 / Whirlwind / Delta Jet
2)
3)
4)
5) Windlass 503 with Wind 2000 wing

PS. You may have more than 1 on 1 position

Mmm good topic

Fastest I have personally been in

1. GT450 - Hands-off 80mph, bar in 105mph
2. Air Creation Clipper - Hands off 56mph, bar in 90+mph
3. Mainair Gemini - Hands off 60mph, bar in 85mph
4. Airborne Edge X - Hands off 60mph, Bar in 70mph
5. Aquilla 2 - Hands off 56mph, Bar in 70mph
6. Aerotrike Safari - Hands off 50mph, Bar in 60mph

I see Solowings are advertising a Jenya-topless wing for Aquilla that does 75mph hands off - Sounds cewl
