John,
I also like the plane, though in my mind being based where you are, You are one lucky man. and with that in mind, you have the right airplane. I have flown your way on a couple of occasions when we used to fly our annual group Idaho Back Country trips. I recall flying the flatlands then diving down into the river gorge to land at Orofino. Treasured memories.

Beautiful airplane. It looks like the color that I am painting mine right now. My color is from Stewart Systems and is Pontiac Red, but my trim will be AC Yellow. I am located at Felts Field, Spokane, WA. Not too far from you. Look forward to meeting up with you sometime. Not sure when I will be flying though. I am at that 90% done and 90% to go. :)

Hey Guys thanks for all the nice compliments. I don't have many photos yet, but I will have soon.
Here,s some of the the good stuff. 26 in Alaska Bush Wheels, AK tail wheel. Electric horizon trim. Tannis engine heater.
It's a 2003 with 400 hrs. Rotax 912 100 hp. Warp drive ground adjustable Prop. The panel is real basic, just the necessities.
Iv'e only had this a little over a month and put 35 hrs on it. Upgraded the oil cooler to the new style the one mounted in front of the water radiator.
I owned a 1955 Cessna 170B for the last 16 years and I always wished that I would have gone the Experimental route . Now that I have, i'm sure having a lot of fun.
John
