From Latvia with Love! This 150knot rocket is one of the most technologically advanced flying machines on the planet. Built entirely of carbon fiber, it is powered by a fuel sipping Rotax 915.
This particular model sports a macho 4bladed prop. The constant speed propeller zooms skyward at 1,500 feet per minute.
I have more videos of this flight from Pekin, Illinois. Thanks to aircraft dealer Chuck Barth for allowing me to enjoy this amazing plane.
