Looks like only 25 entries so far(some really don't look like they will ever take flight :)), and it ends May 4th. My skills are not up to that 3d printing design level yet, but i know some of you guys could do it.

Oh, @Jo's squadron, are you gonna join the speed challenge this year?
I’m not sure… I spent a good bit lately so I don’t really have money left for a gps. But if you will allow it I would join without a gps, just participate for fun. But I can get a decent idea of the speed if I film a low high speed pass. I can calculate the length of the the runway at the field and count how much time it took for the plane to go from one end to the other using the vid. Not very accurate but it could give me an approximate speed.

Sure, why not! Like you said it will have to just be for fun (Otherwise it wouldn't be fair for everyone else) But you could get some good footage!😁👍
