Some of you may remember Don Gulliher.
He passed last summer. I, and a few of his other friends, were left to sort through the immense collection of stuff in his house, garage, shed, and trailer.
Among the treasures was this untouched, never run, brand new (although 20 years old) Lasky Aero 200.
This was the baddest of the bad back then, except for the rare Herby that stayed together for an entire weekend...not sure I ever saw one that could do that...but these Aero sure could. They were always rock solid. I wonder what ever happened to Klaus...
With Paul Ross, and I flew his P51, Stilletto, and G59 Fiats, all with the same Aero 200.
I know this engine is bulletproof, and is an unlimited top fuel nitro breathing dragster plane engine. Planes were doing 240 with these back in the mid 90's. Things haven't gotten much faster since then. I suspect any gains at all have come from the props.
I'd bet a dollar this engine will outrun any of the 170's out there right now.
