Meet Scaled Composites Pond Racer
The Model 158 Pond Racer was built by Scaled Composites to explore an alternative to racing restored warbirds. Its twin-boom composite airframe originally used automobile-derived piston engines and appeared at the Reno races in 1991.
VSKYLABS offers a hypothetical PT6A-powered development of the aircraft, with a broader cross-country role. This released simulator product represents an imagined turboprop variant, so its equipment and performance should not be read as facts about the original racer.
