That was the aim Reg...to be the first propellor driven aircraft to exceed Mach 1.

Yes, it's David Rose's unlimited air racer, the Renegade.
Go to:
BARNSTORMERS.COM AVIATION EVENTS
I don't believe it ever competed or even flew. He later went for the installation of a J85 jet engine!

Noyade has control

RegDep 26th Sep 2011 10:08

Congrats mate! :ok:

Noyade 26th Sep 2011 10:12

Thanks Ken.

I remember the Mach Buster from Aeroplane Monthly quite a while back but never saw the "Renegade" before.

Plenty of jet pipes, but no silhouettes....open house.

RegDep 26th Sep 2011 10:21

Hehee, Graeme What's so bad about sonic booms? - Page 2

Congratulations Skytrain. 4,000 is a hansome figure.
