Hunter loops

FWIW in a Hunter GA11 (navy single seat) with no tanks and light fuel load with a minimum of 200 feet start finish height it was possible to top out at 1800 around 95 knots and 2 notches without increasing the laundry bill. T8 - would not try that low or slow but still a very capable machine. Fuel and tanks made a big difference in performance obviously.

Great shame Shoreham but I think the investigation will produce the right answers.
