Unlimited Predicted Top Speeds From 1994

Not sure if this has been posted before, put it is an interesting article from Sport Aviation.


Strega at 498 (Sea Level), Tsunami 545 (520 reported in flight test) and it is interesting to note that according to their calculations the Rare Bear record run occurred at only 13% more horsepower than stock. What every happened to the Skip Holm project they mention or the Keith Black V-12?

The "Machbuster".

Project went on for several years with Montagne but never went anywhere for several reasons. Then was sold to David Rose, who evolved the design further and came up with the thing in the bottom photo, "Renegade". That was 10 years ago, not sure what the status is currently.

Then came the RP-4, that looked like it used the wing, verticle and horiontal off Renegade/MachBuster & Canopy & gear from Renegade.
