Went flying the Husky after the lockdown yesterday, the plane worked flawless and I passed a Concorde and seconds later the soviet TU144 Supersonic transport.

These tow beauties were on the ground at Technikmuseum Sinsheim. Its the only place in the world where you can pass a Concorde and a TU144 within seconds in a Husky.

Kurt,

I needed to modify my engine idle stop , otherwise it would exceed Mach 1 in the climb.

No joke TAS 124 MPH at 2000 /22 6.9 Gal/ hr

But last fall i had my LSA Pocket Rocket at Mach .6 in 20.000 ft. ROC was, after VMo was established in 2000ft 12700 ft initially, pulling a 1.4 G climb till 60°, but it slowed to around 6000 after passing 10.000 ft. Had 100% Oxygen for 1 hr before the high performance climb.

Wow! Stunning performance!

That is one awesome airplane I watched the video last year. The closest thing I could find to it is my F1 EVO

F1 Evo is hot too. What engine do you have, a friend has the 550 in it.

Mine has an Aerosport 540 it cruises around 210 knots at altitude. The EVO does best up high

I sure hope your engines dont quit!
