Re: Fastest speed for a prop driven airplane?
You are certainly allowed to have an opinion and of course nothing will take away from Lyle's achievements...But if an FAI classification is sitting there with no established record on the books (regardless as to why it was a vacant record) why would that make someone a "meely mouthed chicken crap coward" for putting a record in the books ? (it's mealymouthed by the way)
Anyone who puts the hard work, time, effort, and money into setting records deserves respect and credit...Be it at 100mph or 500mph or any record for that matter it still requires a ton of work from a lot of people and at times can be a dangerous task... a coward?...I would consider name calling much more the cowardly act .
You are of course free to agree or disagree with why the FAI records were basically reset and open, but how can you be upset with people who love aviation and decide to put a number in place?...We worked VERY hard and put in many long days prepping and setting to the best of our aircrafts abilities 9 varied aviation records in 2012 and when someone spews empty rhetoric belittling anyones attempts at such endeavors I felt the need to respond.
I again mean absolutely NO disrespect to Lyle, but felt the disrespect in your words was unwarranted.
