Did you mean nitrous for the tow-pilot ?
Easier installation and a more pleasurable view of the trees
at the end of the runway ?
See ya, Dave

Just a thought. Wanted to see what you guys thought. I know that FAA
aproval would never happen, but seems like a good idea to me.

You could easily and safely run a 100hp shot of NO2 for the first 10-15
seconds of a takeoff roll in an 0-470 or similar motor, and get to 100 feet
and 65 knots a lot quicker than without, increasing safety margins.

NO2 is especially nice in a heat soaked motor because the shot cools the
intake air a good 30-50 degrees...

From being in a ASH-25 at a full 750 kilos on a hot Uvalde day that another
100 hp would really help getting off the ground if you are not behind a big
motor like Scratch.
