I especially like your idea of a hinge across the bottom of the panel, to allow folding it down without removing the 4 bottom mounting bolts. Mine folds down too but I have to remove those bolts; now why didn't I think of that. A fold down panel is great for service and maintenance-love it.

Beautiful! Glad to hear of another O-200 flying.

I like it! Can’t wait to start my build. Thank you for the inspiration.

What a nice looking Kitfox. Oh, the RV-6 is also nice. I've noticed a lot of RV owners build Kitfoxes. I'm guessing that combination of aircraft covers a wide speed range but you better expect to have issues trying to decide which one to fly
I look forward to hearing your performance numbers with the 0-200. It seems over the years the guys with the 0-200's never come back to let us know how that powerplant and airframe combination work out. I know the Rotax is the normal standard, but I always thought the venerable, tried and true 0-200 would make for a nice plane. Maybe they're just too busy enjoying their new Kitfox?
Congrats on finishing and flying your plane. It looks really nice.
I think you need some more screens in your panel.
BTW, what are you using to hold your iPad on the panel?

Great to see your airplanes and get your report. One thing I always do is check the location hoping I discover a new neighbor. This time a big thumbs up. Welcome neighbor.
The iPad was mounted in this picture with velcro, but it overheated and I have since moved it away from the panel with a Ram mount.
John, I understand how you must feel selling your Thorp. I also just sold last week an Aeronica L16A that took me over 10 years to completely restore and find all original parts, from a basket case and flew for a few years. Letting go is bittersweet but new adventures are ahead.
