Hi Dub,
Here are some pictures of our AT-6 fitted with your SJ-120 and Turbo-Jett muffler.We test flew the new AT-6 Texan for the Air Races in Adelaide. Absolutely dynamite!! What an engine! Noise levels are not a problem at 97db and it turns our prop 1200 rpm faster than the Webra. This I guarantee you is the fastest AT-6 in the country. We didnt have the radar with us today but will take it next weekend.
We estimate 120mph easily, not bad considering it has an ice cream bucket on the front! Attached are photos for your web site's Hall Of Fame page. This is definately one bird I am proud to show off. Once again congratulations on a fine product.
UPDATED INFO - 3/22/01
I built the AT6 from one of our glass kits that we produce here. It belongs to my 17 yr old son Stephen who will be competing in the Sensational Adelaide Air Races in April.
We did use the radar on the aircraft last weekend and acheived the following results. Downwind pass in the course 126 mph and upwind in the course 119 mph. The propellor we use is a Supercool Racing Propellors 16 x 9 trimmed to 15 1/2'.The Jett turns that at 10400 rpm static at 94db noise level.
Best wishes
