NOW....That is a real project. I am blown away with your efforts.

I am really amazed on how little it seems to be shaking with the engine running.

Can't wait to see it flying.

Good Luck with the maiden flight, guys.

Hey Mike,

Check out the ground clearance with the 4 blade! If they used a 3 blade, I think it would touch the ground.

That's massive power for that plane... It's like putting a 150cc on a 50cc bird.

Good Luck with the maiden flight, guys.

The engine is super smooth. This morning I went over everything one more time before installing the cowl, prop and spinner.

John will come over today to load it up and prep for hitting the road midweek. Later, Jared Sisk

Bob,

As the maiden draws near with the powerplant mounted ,with that flawless Powerfin prop hangin on the front. The entire plane is such a wonderful piece of engineering and workmanship. It is great to have you wishing us the best of luck.

Absolute best Regards, Jared Sisk
