There was a very nice big turnout in both Perky and PerkE at The Nats.
This is the updated postal report.
Each person's best score is listed.  Those who flew BOTH Perky and PerkE have their PerkE scores posted in the right margin.

Please cast your minds over the spreadsheet.  If you have done a better speed than what is posted, submit the place, date, and speed here. 
I welcome both real Perky and PerkE here.  Also outlaw PerkE, which is PerkE with some extra boost.

Squeeky PerkE is certified 100% legal PerkE.

OK, it's fixed, Ernie is now 8th place.
I'm still at the average of 17 flyers.

"Squeaky" PerkE is 100% legal per the rules.  The mandated 6x6 prop is way too small.
"Outlaw" PerkE takes some liberties, like bigger & better props. 

My plane is squeaky clean and slow.  I flew in The Nats and was almost the slowest, but thank God, there was one plane slower, so I wasn't the worst.  Yeah, I could do a better job of streamling the wires, but that's not the whole solution.

I did an outlaw test flight with a 7-6 and gained 10 MPH.
At The Nats, which was squeaky clean, the speeds ranged from 68 to 83.  That's a WIDE range considering the speed-equalizing rules.
