We are thinking about a dyno check and some passes on a runway. I've made some calls today and worked out which local airports we can't use and which one we can. The issue is the FAA has clamped down on airport use, it can only be used for aviation services if it receives federal dollars.
Since I do not want to excersize my FAA privileges while driving the car, we'll go to a private airfield for some test runs. We are working out a gearing change that will let us shift into at least second gear for a good tranny test.
One of the critical systems we want to check is chute deployment. That will be hard to accomplish on the dyno. The dyno is not a big priority item as the engine and transmission was transplanted and was working well in Vinnie.
We want to install some cameras on the wheel fairings to monitor the chute doors and deployment to see what we can learn. While a 100 mph pass doesn't show us what a high speed pass will do, at least it is some data.
We also want to see how the "stinger" holds up while pushing the car off. Again with the cameras and a good review of what is going on when pushing off.
As for the aluminum rollers, we do have some rubber 21's for the front, but they are not high speed tires, 100mph is about all we would want to try with them.
If we get out this weekend to Green County airport, we'll be sure to post some pics/vids for you guys to see.
