I noticed that Frank says 100mph = 6300 rpm, and I got 100mph = 5900 rpm.
Wow, big difference.  I wish I could get a tranny with an even better ratio,
to cruise at a significantly lower rpm.  Bigger tires would help, too.  I do
know,  however, that my speedo does read a few mph high.  Bentley says there
is also a built-in % below actual.  There is a speedo shop in town that will
check it for $25, I should go get "tested".

Either way, the Tiico flies!
