Steve Hawley submitted this photo and note: “I built this Thorp T-18 and have been flying it now for 47 years. It will cruise 200 mph but I laugh and tell the curious that at that speed I really don’t go any faster, just land more often and pump more gas in it. My normal cruise is 175 at 2,250 rpm. Very economical. Just finished installing two SureFlight electronic ignition modules. Looking forward to a warm spring!”
