Bondo's R5/P7 Maiden Voyage

Here's a link to the video clip I took.

That thing is going to fly on an all-out pass.

Wow, I actually see this as good news! Dropping a valve can wipe out an entire engine, so losing a piston and dinging a chamber up a bit is a Godsend compared to what it could have been.

It sounds like that little mutha is really gonna boogie when you get a full pass in

Good first showing Bob. I agree it's gonna fly when you drop the hammer. I'm sure you'll be running again in no time.

Sorry to hear about the mishap Bob, but I am sure it will be good as new or better when you get her fixed, I agree with everyone, as unfortunate as it was it sure could of been much, much worse.


Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

Glad to hear that you listened to the engine and shut it off immediately. To many people don't listen and respond. It sounded killer on the video and I'm sure it will lay down a number when ready again. Way to represent the SB crowd.

Your board resident keyboard racer here: It sounds like it is flashing the converter the entire pass. Probably just the audio of Vic's clip. REALLY sounds great.

With an A-1, 7" converter that flashes 7800 RPM, I think you heard right.
