    Love the sound. I confess I had to replay it a couple of times just to listen.
    Enjoy.

    Nice! Congratulations Mike! I envy you with that Radial.
    I was waiting for that big Grin upon landing. They barely captured it but I was satisfied.

    That engine sounds great. I liked the slow idle too! Enjoy your new bird.
