  • Was out there since Wednesday. Saw Placerville on the map and thought of you. Considered stopping to see the legendary "road".

  • Mark knows so much, but he’s so humble when going a little beyond his wheelhouse.

  • Thanks for the walk around/interviews! Formula 1 is my favorite! When I was a kid, I hung out with some F1 racers/designers so I learned a lot about them. I also like the biplanes. 😊

  • The humble old 150 engine with its neck wrung! who'd have thought. Guess you can't beat good old basic mechanics. Great insight into Reno air racing, Thanks Mark.

    • Amazing that the little 0-200 could do that.

    • They just spin the RPMs way up. 3,400 is common. 4,300-4,500 for the Gold Winners. Thats 1.23x and 1.63x airflow, therefore power. At that density altitude, multiply by 0.8. Plus ram-air boost, as they all utilize it. Means these engines produce somewhere between 100-150hp depending on how tiny the propeller is, and how hard they spin them. Not for everyone, as they let loose fairly often and reaults in many dead-stick landings in airplanes that really cant get below 100mph or else they really come down... And they have a 27/54 (0.5) lethality rate... Sorry to break the news but your odds in a Cassutt crash are 50/50.

  • Thanks! I was a pylon judge at a Formula 1 race years ago…..and we got to poke around the hanger before the race. Very interesting stuff done under the cowlings to wring those rpm's out of those little engines.

    • I was amazed it was an 0-200 in there.

  • great interviews! really interesting, never imagined they run almost stock engines double the rpm than in the 150. I feel much safer now in the 150 doin high revs around 2700 :)

  • Thanks Mark! You really missed out by not staying for more of the races, they are incredible to watch. Very sad about the loss of the two T-6 pilots. Praying for their families.

    • I really went up there to drop off that prop. It was fun but very crowded.

  • Great interviews! Thanks. I like that you cut to the sport (much faster) class ripping around the pylons after talking to the formula guys! haha.

  • Wow! Didnt realize they could crank that kind of performance out of an O-200, although, I know there are methods to get a Rotax 912ULS up to about 120 HP, That is neat though! I'm sure in those tiny planes that feels very fast - like a go-kart on the ground as kids!

    • Imagine 110mph on final

  • I enjoyed this video. If you happen to get a chance to fly a Cassutt, I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on it.

    • It might be a while before I get to fly one.

  • I ❤ it. Best I can ponder is that the prop speed makes maximum torque well below 3000 RPM but above 3000 RPM the horsepower increses steadily which sllows the maximum Torque to be made increasingly quicker resulting in greater quantities in less time. Me thinx🤔

    • Couldn't agree more!

    • Helps me to think of it like a small screw spinning fast or a big screw spinning slow. The pitch of the thread and the motor driving it will determine which ones goes faster through a chunk of wood. In this case it's a low power motor and it's likely a better use of power to spin a small screw fast.

  • That prop would have fit in the Volt, trust me!

    • Yes, under the seat. The racer prop. Not the big long Ham standard though.
