    Larry,

    That old Fox is looking mighty sweet these days. I really like the paint scheme the more I see of it. You're going to have one cool airplane when you're done with it.

    And 105 hp with a big prop? You'd better be ready to hang on as it's gonna be kickass...

    Are those the new Desser tires, or is it that your tall gear just makes it look incredibly tall? You're gonna need a ladder to get in it. Hey, maybe have a rope ladder you can let down from inside the cabin you can use to get in and out.

    Looking good Larry. Going after those Just Super Stols with that zipper kit, large prop and tall gear but without the 25 mph + cruise loss

    Now Larry, I would think you now need to start thinking of a new name for the project. I have seem a lot of "Mangy" Kitfoxes in my day, but this doesn't fit, that is unless you are planning on going stealthy and trying to hide what it is really becoming.
