REFLECTOR: Deltahawk engine

[Grigore Rosu]

OK, I take the challenge!

I still need to get my pilot licence, but I'll hopefully get it this month.

I still need to build my Velocity, but I already ordered the kit and will 
start on Sept 1st.  According to Velocity Inc, it should take 800h to 
build it.  At 25h/week that means 40 weeks, which means that I should be 
done by August 1st, 2006.  I certainly intend to use a Deltahawk engine, 
most likely a 200HP one with an MT constant speed propeller, so my 
airplane will satisfy your spec.

To make it fun, I propose to race coast-to-coast, say from somewhere 
arround New York to somewhere arround San Francisco.

:-)    (but I'm serious, too)

Grigore
