Re: Aberle setting records again!!
That must have been the plane I heard in my second floor office about 15 minutes ago.
Heard the first lap, wow what the heck was that. Then went to the window as he came around a second time.
It's like he hit boost, rpms like a F1 car.
Amazzzzziiinnnnng.
Thanks for posting, had a feeling that sound was worth something to post on HangerTalk. :-0

Re: Aberle setting records again!!
I'm a pretty casual follower of Tom's speeds, but it sure seems like he finds substantial improvements every year I wonder if he has access to Paul Lipps' formulas for that prop- I'd think that with the speed increases over the past 3-4 years, the prop is in need of some more bite
