  • Czech mate update?

    Any info. on Czech Mate? Will it race this year? Anybody know if they just strengthened the wing, or modified it. I've alway thought that airplane could be a winner if it could lose the Clark Y airfoil.

      The wing is a new stock wing. Smoot plans to be at PRS. Not sure if the airplane will be done by then but he needs to re-qual. to be able to race in Sept.

        Can anyone back this up? Is it going to be a stock rebuilt wing? Are my dreams of a 490mph Yak dashed for ever?

          My understanding is that it's pretty beefed up to prevent the oil-canning and twisting that were present before. Plus a few 'tweaks'.

                I think your dreams are already met. " If" I remember right he's done 468 mph laps or qual and that's at or over 490 on fast stretches I believe.

                        Maybe Sherm will grab a ride in Strega instead?

                          The pace plane might be.
