Very nice, Boxer. Thank you for sharing. Is this your private plane in the background of your garden lawn ?

That's impressive, Boxer. Love your backyard garden. Judging from the engine sound, what was the rpm you were spinning in the long straight away ? I don't think you were using even half of the capacity there. Hard to tell, but my guess is around 3000 ~ 3500 rpms ? By the way, Boxer, I think you are definitely on drugs called F50 there. Thanx for sharing. Enjoyed much. w/ smiles Jimmy

Jimmy, being a F50 nuts I believe to remember that the sound inside the cabin is very different (more tamid in relation to the "shreak-noise" from the outside) to a listener on the outside...meaning that I believe the rpm's have been over 6'000..even 7'000 !

How much was it, Boxer ?

I don't think the mic on his video camera was very good. I was spinning it up to 7000-7500 while going from 3rd to 5th. Ran out of room before we could hit 6th.

Only in my dreams. Would be great to have to fly the cars around though.
