    Thanks Steve I still fondly remember the ride in your model IV. I hope my perfromance comes close to yours. I'll let you know when she's airborne. Little far for me to return the ride but it would be nice. I was trying to get it ready for the Northwest Montana flyIn but maybe next year. Hope to see you this winter.

    It will do great with the 80 hp. Rotax Norm.
    I'll keep the Gretsch 5120 polished up for your return.

    Noticed again your exhaust set up. I remember Tex using similar set up on a Highlander years ago.

    The plane had a 582 when I picked it up. The whole firewall forward is custom built by myself and KitFoxJim. I could not have done it without Jim's help. Yesterday was the first time to taxi the plane after a three year rebuild. Jim is doing the video. I thought he had to be there to see the first taxi. After flying two strokes for ten years these sound incredible. I have heard that I may have less performance by not going to a single muffler. Time will tell.
    What a sound though.
