I thought airplane engines are supposed to run at constant RPMs, not variable RPMs like automobile engines. Anyway, it's still awesome when VTEC KICKS IN j0!

"It has never attained an altitude of more than seven feet."

Kewl.

[smokeyj]

hell it must be nice to have a helihonda for getting around Nigeria

[Stormhammer]

NCAA wont care cause it never gets past 7 feet, a basketball player could make it crash land

not exactly, at cruise in a recip. plane, rpm's are at a constant 2300-2400. Majority of the time, 70% of the flight is in a cruise configuration.
