If you keen I have most of the hardware. I have a logger and the software etc required for verification. I am keen to do with the RV as well, but the world records for the bliks in RV category (and unlimited) are huge (US guys throws huge cash at it and do it as profession. Reno etc. Bruce B has a RV4 with a 300'n plenty HP RV4 and has HUGE sponsorship from Texas oil barons to simply chace the records.) There are no SA records Blik,, Jet, Trike, 3 axis (except 1 for a time to climb for a jet powered (lightening) done at overberg last year), so first to do it will have local record and possibly a world as well. Aero Club, Sapfa are keen to tryto get this going. Possibly MISASA could get involved. If guys are flying to X for nationals or provinvials set a course and have a go?

Social, challenging and it will create a different spin if could get news coverage from TV that does not show a crumpled wing and crying relatives, rather naughty Demonic grin and huge speed.... Food for thought....

PS
Obviously if you need any ground crew, balast, Camera crew etc... Just shout....
